I'm not sure the comparison with console games is valid if players already play those on console rather than PC. No point in catering to that if they're using an entirely different device anyway.

The comparison is valid because PCs and consoles are vying for the same market share, especially in the current times where consoles are just fixed spec x86 PCs.

It’s especially valid when the steam machine is being sold as a console like experience.
