  • So I read this article and a lot of people are saying it’s likely to be priced out of competitiveness in the console space due to the parts shortages.

    Meh. The parts shortages that everyone is experiencing?

    I think this is more a case of what do you consider “competition”? Rivian doesn’t compete with Ford - and Valve doesn’t compete with Microsoft/Sony who outsell Valve 20 to 1.

    Perhaps the new Xbox is a signal that Microsoft is scared of Valve and Valve is on to something, but I dont think the Steam Machine needs to be competitive in price to the Xbox to be a success.
