So all the advantages the "steamboxes" have over consoles are actually disadvantages.

The logic of buying a ‘games machine’ where the games selection will always be more limited than on a standard PC or Mac makes little sense.

Yet people buy consoles. And "standard PC"? Who decided that giving microsoft your money is a "standard"?

Think less of it being a PC plugged into your television and more of an alternate console platform based on an open ecosystem instead of a walled garden, compared to existing consoles.

The only interesting point there is: Will people playing with the Steam pad be turned off the gaming experience because they are playing against the more accurate mouse/keyboard users?
