Steam Machine Sells Out in Japan Despite Woeful Pricing

As was the case with the Steam Deck, Valve is selling the Steam Machine via Komodo Station, an Asian reseller that serves much of South-East Asia, and as a result, it skips the reservation and lottery system that is currently in place on Valve's own Steam Store. While this doesn't combat issues...

Question is how many were made available to sell out.

Let's not forget economies of scale working for Sony here along with their ability to plan far in advance. They will have secured components at a much lower price than Valve possibly could have. We're talking tens of millions of PlayStations versus tens of thousands of Steam Machines.

You can't be serious the PS5 Pro is almost half the price compared to the Steam machine with controller.

PS5 Pro has higher spec in every area.

Value are being Value greedy but they know they will have a market which will just pay it.

Sony has a captive market and doesn't need to get the full amount they want when they sell you a PS5 Pro. The PS5 price is what you pay to be locked into Sonys shop.

Valve is selling a tweaked but essentially ordinary pc with a SteamOS installation.

There is nothing stopping you buying Valves Steam Machine, kicking SteamOS off, installing Windows and then using it as an office PC that never pays Valve another penny.

Except the part where they want full payment for what it costs up front.

Come to that, there's nothing stopping you buying a pc that's half the price of a Steam Machine with controller and installing SteamOS for free. What's that performance like.
