Steam machines weren't released yet.

Also, while mobile GPUs are definitely stronger than they were 10 years ago, they still have a lot more to go to even match the performance of a console. Not to mention top it/reach that of a PC.



The latest devices, using Metal and Android extensions certainly seem close to matching up with the WiiU, X-Box360, and ps3. I don't think they will match the ps4/XBone but the Unreal Engine/CryTech demos using those beta builds has been very impressive.

Read the previous sentence or the grand parent. The context is games.


I do not see why AAA PC game companies would care about what 90% of the people in the world think. What they care about is what gamers think, since those make up most of their customer base.


They care because ideas propagate.
