The third mostly overlooked advantage of the SteamMachine is the Steam library (and other game sources). You are not locked in in one use case (playing on a sofa in front of a TV). With handhelds like the SteamDeck, you can play your games on the go. You can play your games on desktops (and laptops). Buy once, run everywhere.

Not only the portability of (Steam) games is a huge advantage but also the prices of those games. Every now and then there are discounts on various games or huge sales on Steam or other stores like Humble Bundle. The SteamMachine might become more expensive than consoles, but games will be cheaper – perhaps even significantly.

Another big advantage is compatibility. For example controllers: Xbox controllers as well as Playstation controllers can be used with the SteamMachine. (In general all controllers with Bluetooth should work.) There is no need to buy new ones if you already own some.

There has been much speculation and prediction about the upcoming SteamMachine. One point seems to have been completely overlooked so far: freedom.

Console gamers are used to being told how to use their devices. With the SteamMachine, it's completely different. You can customize and modify it to your liking (mods, emulators, games from other launchers/stores, ...) – you can even use it for something completely different (work, school, other hobbies, …). This feeling of no longer being restricted will IMHO have a very strong pull effect and make it difficult for Sony, Microsoft, and Nintendo to keep their players on their closed (console) platforms.
