    I’m trying to think of a scenario where someone would think twice about purchasing a steam machine just because a product from 10 years ago bombed in sales.

    This would require them to ignore the recent success of the steam deck… which is basically impossible.

    Therefore, I have doubts that the name alone would have ANY direct impact on sales.

        I think MS is transitioning from XBOX = console to XBOX = MS gaming, and they’re just fumbling that communication.

          Maybe its the norm in the gaming community like what the heck is a “NEW” nintendo 3ds lol. At this point everyone needs to fire their marketing team.
