Can a box so small really deliver an experience as good as current high end Gaming?
I know the reply is late, but have you seen the specs of some of these boxes?Can a box so small really deliver an experience as good as current high end Gaming?

The Xi3 base model Piston will be running an AMD "quad core Trinity 3.2GHz" CPU (presumably the A8 5500, but not confirmed), AMD Radeon 7000-series GPU, 8GB RAM and an 128GB SSD.
RoundsDownRange's base model IMPACT will have an Intel i7 4770K CPU, custom Nvidia GTX 680 (made by EVGA), 8GB RAM and 32GB SSD + 500GB mechanical.
I bet the prices reflect it too mate, Surely we are just better sticking as we are, I mean its just a PC in a smaller box it will be good don't get me wrong but from what I can gather the whole purpose is for big picture mode I currently have 350+ games on steam but not even 10% show in big picture mode when I change to it I know that's not going to be the same for everyone but there just aren't that many games that support it, My opinion so far from my limited knowledge about the steambox save your money and buy a very good lappy and stick it under the TV wire it with hdmi and set steam to boot on start in big picture mode you will still be able to play games at full spec and save a couple of hundred quid in the process, I bought a median laptop at christmas for about £450 and I've yet to find a game I can't play at full spec. Just my opinion/rant lol.
True, but the question was about performance, not priceI bet the prices reflect it too mate, Surely we are just better sticking as we are, I mean its just a PC in a smaller box it will be good don't get me wrong but from what I can gather the whole purpose is for big picture mode I currently have 350+ games on steam but not even 10% show in big picture mode when I change to it I know that's not going to be the same for everyone but there just aren't that many games that support it, My opinion so far from my limited knowledge about the steambox save your money and buy a very good lappy and stick it under the TV wire it with hdmi and set steam to boot on start in big picture mode you will still be able to play games at full spec and save a couple of hundred quid in the process, I bought a median laptop at christmas for about £450 and I've yet to find a game I can't play at full spec.

I wonder if steambox will sell as much as current ps4 or xbox one.
That will depend on whether you go for a Machine or the Link...... I am assuming that games will be installed locally (as they are now) as I wasnt too impressed with onlive streaming when I tried it through my pc, but it was when it had just started.
