Actually, everyone is in love with steam machines currently.

Who? Are you talking about the steam deck? That thing won't even sell 10% of the amount of consoles that the last placed xbox sells this generation. It probably won't even sell half as many consoles as the xbox will sell in its worst year.

People don't care about steam machines, they just like steam the digital distribution game platform.

Great response! I see your point!

Tell me how steam machine sales are going?

No one knows because Valve hasn't released sales numbers and I'm not sure what number you would expect me to say that would satisfy whatever you arbitrarily consider a successful product.

It could have sold better than the PS2 and they would still be angry.

I'm not the one that said:

with nothing to back it up. You're defending what that person said also with nothing to back it up.
