All they have to do is market the fact you don't have to pay for online.

PS5 + 3 years of PS Plus = $740

Steam Machine = $700

Add/remove more years of PS Plus if the SM turns out to be more/less expensive.

If you add the fact that games on PC are usually cheaper and have sales more often then it's a no brainer, but that won't convince the FIFA and COD players.

This system won't run FIFA, GTA Online, Battlefield, Valorant or CoD, it's a nonstarter for many.

Sure you don't need to subscribe to PS+, but that's somewhat easier to swallow since PS+ gives you games with the subscription.

I'm still interested in this for playing older games but I have a Steam Deck and it still isn't remotely as seamless as my Switch or PS5.

Plus a game catalog that stretches back some 30 years?

		And +X years, because you could write your own games for it and install them without begging for permission from Valve.
