Yeah except current console gamers have a lot of existing games that will be useless if they sell their current console to go to steam.

Like in the end your math eventually does work out (if you pay for subscriptions, I know those who don’t) but at the current price levels I don’t see steam machine swaying that many console gamers at all, especially if their friends also own consoles that they play with.

For people starting fresh I can see it at least being an option.
