    I mean it’s closer to a pellet gun because afaik the Steam machine isn’t subsidized by game sales unlike some consoles, still engineering and setting up manufacturing still probably cost a lot so it’s probably still a gun just not a shotgun.

      I look at the Steam Machine being a proof of concept device leading to third party development.

      There is now a lot of interest in computer markers to make their own machine and Valve is more than happy if they do it at no cost to Valve.
