Steam Box Could Beat PS4 and Xbox One

While everyone has been focused on the Xbox One and Playstation 4 tug of war. Another player could still enter the game and really shake up the scene for both Sony and Microsoft. One device that hasn't been in the spotlight a lot is the Steam Box which will be coming to living rooms at some point in the future. And it looks as if the Steam Box may be having some features and ideas that excited a lot of Xbox One fans.

it can co-op, it can be competitor BUT it cannot beat

we are in the age where 1st party exclusive doesn't be killer-app much, and 3rd party exclusive literaly don't exist anymore

and 3rd party technique will want to be release thier game in asmuch console as posible to gain massive benefit, so as long as the game still release on other console, ppl still stick with thier favor

Pope_Kaz_Hirai_II3979d ago

Unfortunatley we know nothing about the steam box so this article is pointless.

"gain massive benefit"

PC games generate more revenue than all the consoles combined. The devs that stick around with them get stacks of cash thrown at them by Microsoft/Sony.

Caffo013978d ago

@hdshatter
that's BS.
PC is last in terms of revenue, it's first in another category: piracy.

ashade3978d ago

you don't need to destroy his dream, that's too cruel

papashango3978d ago (Edited 3978d ago )

EA's own financial results already stated that the PC makes them more money than the ps3...

how's that foot taste?

Caffo013978d ago (Edited 3978d ago )

@papashango
that's only EA, where are other publishers? and the difference is small and certainly based on BF3 that's a lot of their revenue and a different game on PC.

hdshatter said that PC games generate more revenue than all the consoles COMBINED.

So is that true based on your link ?

JsonHenry3978d ago

@Caffoo01- you are dead wrong. The PC dwarfs the consoles in sales and revenue. Even with the piracy. Here are some articles for proof -

Pc revenue is high, but that also includes Facebook games, sites like Pogo, and the like.

Somebody3978d ago

Why don't you guys look up on other articles, outside N4G, from other sources before tearing apart papashango's link? They show a much bigger picture than that one link.

PC fans showed links to support their claims. Console fans brutally refute their claims with...NO links of their own to counter those claims.

Caffo013978d ago

PC delivered $276 million, the Xbox 360 $292 million and the PS3 $267 million.

HOW'S PC BEATING ALL CONSOLES COMBINED??? AND THAT'S EXCLUDING WII, WII U AND HANDHELDS.

The_KELRaTH3978d ago

It's not just EA, Activision's profits are only 30% from consoles with the bulk from PC's (of that a fair chunk is from WoW).

I'm looking forward to the new space epic "Star Citizen" by Chris Roberts (Wing Commander/Privateer).

Somebody3978d ago

@Caffo01
that's only EA, where are other publishers?

What about Blizzard and WoW? What about Valve and it's elusive revenue estimates. They don't even make tons of game every year and yet they are making their own console.

They weren't at E3....they aren't being talked about in gaming sites really, or in the MSM......they aren't outselling PS4 & XB1 & Wii U..

This article/opinion is ignorant.

I love steam but we need to be realistic here.

Upbeat3979d ago

The steam box wont even compete. Sony and Microsoft have alot more fans and consumer base than steam.

YourSavior3979d ago

I don't see that ever happening.

Steam is changing its refund policy, but you probably won’t be affected

thorstein15d ago

Should have happened a long time ago. People wanting refunds after 50 hours in game.

fsfsxii15d ago

Pc gamers will take this as an excuse to pirate things

KyRo15d ago

I'm not sure why you're getting disgrees. Whilst not all PC gamers are petty, an awful lot of them are lol

Crows9015d ago

Entirely untrue. Not any more petty than console gamers. The only large difference is console gamers don't have much of a choice.

Michiel198914d ago

Not sure why you're getting agrees. an awful lot of console gamers are overemotional twinks ready to go to war over a plastic box, I'll take being a pc gamer then.

Speaking about overgeneralizing much.

Nooderus14d ago

"X" type of gamer conversations are cringe

qalpha15d ago

Daily reminder that 'TheGamer' is a corporate-generated, anti-gamer, anti-consumer, clickbait web site. They are mostly A.I. generated articles that villainize gamers. They provide nothing positive and actively try to provoke and divide the community through extreme view points and politics. Do not give them any clicks.

Inverno15d ago

Only scumbags? As if people don't play their games on console put in the most amount of hours and return it to GameStop and trade it in for another game. But also how many people are actually do this? And what games have been allowed to be refunded?

DustMan15d ago

You can refund any game you've purchased as long as it hasn't been longer than two weeks, and you've played less than 2 hours. I wish they would change it to 3 hours because some RPG's have so much exposition that you may only get an hour total of complete gameplay. That's my only knock on it. I've refunded plenty of stuff I was just curious to try. I typically stay away from Early Access titles which are the only ones affected by this policy change.

Inverno15d ago

Apparently early access doesn't count, only complete games with a play early preorder bonus.

Gaming4Life198115d ago

I definitely know if I want a refund in 2 hours.

SegaSaturn66914d ago

I never liked refunding anything. Even if a film is bad, i dont want my money back. Sometimes things just aren't for me, and it's not the creator's fault necessarily.

Gaming4Life198114d ago

I feel you and i have never walked out on a bad movie cause I payed my money. I also don't refund games cause I'm a gamer and I know what to buy lol. I think having a digital refund is great.
