It will definitely boost PS5 sales. Sony loves to boast about PlayStation 2 being the best selling console in history but they conveniently leave out the reason. It’s because there are modchips and even software jailbreaks for the console. It’s why it sold super well during the end of its lifetime in low and middle income regions.
Actually the reason is it was the cheapest DVD player for ages
PS3 was also the cheapest blueray player at the time, but the weird architecture impacting game availability and lower demand for blueray movies prevented it from gaining the same popularity
I’m guessing that the direct profit from a Steam Machine (i.e. the hardware) is a pittance compared to the profit from the game sales that it will generate.

The original Xbox even had a hard drive and DVD ROM player connected by IDE cables so it didn’t change much.
Indeed and two years of advancement for steamboxes / Linux gaming distros will be the nail in the coffin. These are the last of their kind.
The PS5 base security keys got leaked, it’s going to be a full fledge PC once the modders get to work. Might be the cheapest way to get ram now hah.

I’ll be converting my PS5 to a Steam Machine once the masters have done their work.
Valve’s reaction to this news in relation to Steam Machine: Fuck.
Granted that is millions of new potential steam game players.

I’d also love to have a normal PS5 partition and a Linux one. This would be the best of both worlds, but I think I’m dreaming too much😇
Oh wut? Lol my PS5 just got a lot more interesting.
Got a Link about that?

sorry about the delay, apparently I’m only getting notified of new messages 10 hours later, even though I’ve been on since.
All fine. Thanks for the link
