something something quacks like a duck, swins like a duck, it’s a duck. The steam machine does swim like a duck behave like what is commonly referres to as a game console. The steamroller is debatable tho.
The steam machine:
Custom hardware
Custom software and os
Specifically designed to play games
Has a dedicated controller
Designed to work well with a living room TV (HDMI-CEC)
The only difference between the steam machine and other consoles is that it’s not locked down
Neither the Steam Machine nor this Steamroller are consoles tho

The Steam Machine ain’t a typical PC either, at least that’s not the intention on how it is to be used. It’s kinda a PC-console hybrid.
