The software it runs, you still need windows. In order for something like this to succeed i think it would need an OS built for just gaming like consoles. I would hope one day valve software would do this, build a pc based console machine that just runs steam and only steam. my 2c Title: Re: The death of Console Gaming (maybe, hopefully) Post by: KARNAGE on 20/01/2012, 01:58 PM I would hope one day valve software would do this, build a pc based console machine that just runs steam and only steam. I too have dreamed of that day, but it'd be hard for BF3 when EA think they can be top shit with origin (which has been awful in my experience).Title: Re: The death of Console Gaming (maybe, hopefully) Post by: Z00111111 on 20/01/2012, 03:10 PM but then it wouldn't be a gaming PC, it'd be an upgradeable console.

To some extent, although what would make it different and stand out from the rest is it has a mouse and keyboard that can be used in game.
