what? you are not making sense

it seems your point is basically "why doesn't that Steam Machine come with the chip I have?"

I see it here a lot. someone buys a gtx 680, and a gtx 670 owner makes the case why they should have bought a 670. but I really think the motivation behind that sort of thing is just that people feel the need to defend and rationalize their own decisions (I've probably been guilty of this at some point)

No that you who is over reaching. I explained my reasoning already. All that extra is in your head.

The device will finish a distant third to the other consoles unfortunately. Not sure people are dying to play highly specked RTS games on their home entertainment PCs. Especially when both the xbox and the ps4 do that all ready cheaply and very well.

Well to name a few no native USB 3.0, no PCI-E 3.0, still having the PCI controller on the board. Meanwhile FM2 has this sorted out and so does the competition.

Valve should have def pushed for AM3 chips! :childplease:

Again most of that means squat, I have usb 3.0 who cares if its native or not it works well. PCI-E 2 vs 3 doesn't matter at this point. The point is their are well sorted out amd3+ boards that have any feature you need.

No mini-itx though. That's what Valve needs. :umad:

the PC market is just different their exclusives are for really hardcore gamers who are into strategy games and MMO's where they take time to build their characters and really feel like they live in the world the game creates

Consoles have linear action adventure titles first person shooters and sandbox action games. There was a time when PC's could say they had exclusive First Person Shooters that just couldn't be done on consoles back when the unreal tournaments far cry battlefields and original Call of Duty and a few others were popping. The last shooter that you could say PC gave an experience the console couldn't was Crysis

Now star citizen looks to be the next pc game to feature unreal amazing graphics but its one of those games that you seem to need to devote your life too

consoles kind of give you that night at the movies feel. You play for an hour a 2 a night beat the game indulge in multiplayer for that competitive feel and move on to the next experience. PC gamers have probably been playing world of warcaft for years

but ultimately back to the point if your into console games why spend so much money to play multiplat games with better graphics but not worth hundreds of dollars more in better graphics? Now I do support building a good htpc and well if you want to put a good graphics card then enjoy the better graphics but hopefully your using that pc for more than just games
