… There are plenty in that group that can afford a steam machine. Why is everyone acting like that 70% is living on gruel.

I believe it. I’m sure there are millions of people using Steam to play Dota or CS2 on stuff like old laptops. But how many of those are willing and able to spend 1000+ for an upgrade?
Ultimately, stocks may be so low that it doesn’t really matter though.

That means there are a shitload of potential customers, not “I wonder how many people there are that fall in that category but who wouldn’t just buy a much cheaper console instead though.”

If you ignore the price, sure.

What are you on about? There are people that will still want/need to upgrade, and those are the customers. It’s not ignoring price, that is simply the price whether it’s a PC or a steam machine. Something tells me you just want to disagree so ciao.
