alt Hacker NewsYou'll likely see a lot more Steam Machine-like PCs because of this. SteamOS fixes most of the problems you mention. Price is the new normal and you should expect next gen consoles to come closer to it. It's not a bad deal anyway when you consider the bigger library, cheaper games, and no subscription required.
At that point I’d say we’re talking about a PC/console hybrid anyway so the distinction gets a little less useful.
