The console market is arguably in the best place it's ever going to be for a large shakeup. Nintendo is, as always, doing its own thing with the Switch 2, which has proven itself to be a phenomenon beyond what we've seen before, and capable of filling the first Switch's intimidatingly large shoes and serving Nintendo's large niche.
Griffais said the AMD Zen 4 CPU and RDNA3 GPU in the Steam Machine were designed to outperform the bottom 70 percent of machines that opt-in to Valve’s regular hardware survey. And Steam Machine owners should expect to pay roughly what they would for desktop hardware with similar specs, he added.
Valve has confirmed that its upcoming Steam Machine will be priced “in line with the current PC market” rather than being subsidised like traditional consoles. The move signals a shift in hardware strategy and sets new expectations for buyers.

And if it's anything like the Steam Deck, I should be able to modify it rather easily to access not just my Steam library, but also services like Game Pass and the Epic Games Store.
