Well, I guess Valve will have to wait for the AI bubble to pop before chip manufacturers have the spare capability for small clients like Valve. Before that, don’t expect any big changes.

    Oh wow! So charging 1500€ for mid tier performance will end up being a good deal? People are calling the steam machine overpriced and dead on arrival, but what if all the other manufacturers end up following in Steam’s footsteps?

    They will its just that they currently have enough volume to prevent it from shooting up so high in the short term.

    Bigger OEMs will also save a lot of cost in other areas so it will never reach the price of the steam machine, but it's definitely gonna keep going up.
