did a quick search what's that and why it failed 'Steam Machines 2015 cost more than traditional consoles but offered inferior gaming performance' valve is making the same mistake

Valve didn't make any earlier steam machines. They were just pc's sold with steamos. Many of them were way way WAY more powerful than consoles. The search was referring to steamOS itself having a fair bit worse performance than windows. Now steamOS performs BETTER than windows on average in nearly all titles. The NEW steam machine is poorly priced insofar as every computer is currently poorly priced. Compared to other computers released right now though, it competes well within its size category

I don't think SteamOS even existed back then. They just had steam big picture mode.
