Why a new Steam Machine when the first ones flopped? Because this time, Valve say, it'll actually have games

The fact I have to ask what it is - means it's an advertising failure. Is it a VR geadset system? Does it stream video? Is it a console? Is any of it portable, which parts? Mains power or rechargeable?
Huh? I'm a consumer, your media/ad buy should immediately answer these. If it hasn't done this, your product won't sell.
I don't get your point. You could ask the same questions about any other hardware, including Playstation and specially Xbox.
Here's the product page if you want to learn about it.
It's a computer with an accessible OS that you can do whatever you want to it which happens to be optimised for gaming, but can also stream.
This is a teaser. It’s not meant to answer all those questions (although the full hardware page does answer a lot). It’s to get you thinking and talking about it. More details will come, but they haven’t even announced an order date and deliver is still “early 2026”.
The steam machine is a small PC with Steam OS (The same that runs on the Steam Deck).
