In wine there's truth but in silence there's surrender.

No threes involved in the making of this console.

The most dangerous gunslinger in the west.

I'm curious if they're actually going to pull through with consoles. And if they actually become a competing force in the market.

I really hope so.

Heavy weighs the crown, low hangs the head who wears it.

I'm excited. The platform will very likely use Linux, hopefully getting more devs on board with development for this system.

Makes me wonder what will make it very different from that Ouya thing. Besides Valve backing their own thing of course.

Anyone but Foman. He smells like cheese.

I'm just enjoying being proved right. Back when GabeN was whining and -blam!-ing about Windows 8 and open vs closed platforms, I said GabeN was being hypocritical and self-serving because Valve wants to create its own closed platform and was trying to get its fanboys into the "we hate Microsoft" mindset.

A mere 3 or 4 months later and, voila, Foman looks like a genius once again.

If it's over $399, it'll flop.

A lot of consumers actually disagree with GabeN's thinking of Windows 8. Windows 7 and 8 are really the same OS...only difference is that Windows 8 has 2 UIs.

I don't think GabeN was ever trying to create a "Microsoft hate train", but rather just expressing that he highly dislikes the OS.

Again....a lot of people actually disagree with GabeN.

The new Xbox and Play Station will probably be around $400....maybe even more.

The way I see it, he was angry because the Microsoft Store app was a direct threat to Steam. It comes built in, so it would have the 'internet explorer effect' of people only knowing about the apps built into the OS.

That's my point. $400 is the highest regular consumers are willing to pay. Remember how bad the PS3 did when it was offered at $599?
