As long as I can still play the games on my regular PC it sounds good.

You mean, will purchased games be compatible/present across both the "PC Steam" and "PC/Console Hybrid Steam"? Bloody hope so or they might as well not bother!

I doubt it will replace my gaming computer but I could see it replacing my computer in the living room. I am glad to see someone working on promoting PC over console though.

Eh what? I don't understand the point. PS3 is compeltely hacked so you can play "illegal" games, also not forgetting the fact that they had all passwords and accountnamed uncrypted in their database.
PS4 current setup barely can run UT4 and Xbox has somewhat same shit in their console. PS3 setup is shit, Xbox 360 setup is shit. Won't require absolutely anything to compete with those 2.
Neither sides have ANY exclusives worth of playing, seriously, not a single game that isnt multiplatform.
But nevertheless, this console will not succeed, consoles are dead and they should be, too.

I don't think you can say that consols are dead I don't think they will be anytime soon.
If what you're saying is that PC gaming is much better. I would tend to agree. The graphics are better, the control options are sometimes much better. And really when you think about it you don't have to spend that much to get a computer that is far beyond a game system and it will do more than simply play games and do basic web surfing.

Really,we are calling everybody names and starting a pissing contest over a video game system that may or may not pan out???!!!
Another player, in the console wars, might be a good thing. I've been playing, using a computer, since Zork was on the Com64. Still, as good as I liked my computer games, in the end, for my family, kids and a wife, a console system is more entertaining now. Do not misunderstand, I fully believe the PC will always have better specs for game play over the consoles, hell I still miss playing with the keyboard only. I also miss playing donkey kong on coleco vision, wait I just need to figure how to connect the video cable from it to my LEDTV.
Really, I cannot think of a current game title, that I must have on a pc. I like the kinect idea, I bought a 360 just for my kids, and like it a little. I always like the Sony layout for the controller, yet I'm not really thrilled with their psn setup.

Seriouslly you are a dumb - did you even research your dribble you just spoke of i don't think so you don't know what Xbox is gonna do next year you are dumber than a newborn baby Microsoft is working on Cross Platforming so that would mean Xbox Vs Pc Vs Ps4 so maybe you should study and do your research again -
Really? There isn't even any punctuation in the paragraph.

I think it's more so Devs don't have to hassle with the witchcraft that is porting and licensing games on other platforms.

Aside from all of the rude comments and speculation, we'll just have to judge it when it comes out. More competition is usually a good thing, and if the operating system is based on Linux it might be interesting.

if the new console is decent and comes out before the next xbox and playstation,sony and microsoft might develop better hardware and games to compete with it.
as for some of the earlier comments sony exclusive gran turismo you wont find any racing games with smoother,more realistic graphics.
im sure xbox would have some exclusives but as i dont play 1 im not sure thinking halo.
as for steam there are ways to illegally download games for free.

Are you suggesting that if this console comes out before the new xbox and playstation, they'll (microsoft and sony) decide to put better hardware in all of a sudden?
There isn't a snowballs chance in hell of that happening, or maybe your talking about the cycle after this one, in 7 to 10 years.

@Molsen...you need a RF modulator (check Amazon) to convert the signal to plug into the composite inputs on your TV.
