Valve's Pierre-Loup Griffet confirms in an interview with the Friends Per Second podcast that the Steam Machine will be priced comparable to PCs with similar specs.
“I think if you build a PC from parts and get essentially the same level of performance, that's the general price range we're aiming for,” he said (via VideoGamesChronicle).
“Ideally we'd be pretty competitive and get a pretty good deal, but we're working on refining it right now and it's just hard to get a really good idea of what the price is going to be right now because there's a lot of different things that fluctuate.”
Pierre-Loup Griffet was asked if Valve would subsidize the Steam Machine in order to be more competitive on price.
“No, it's more in line with what you can expect from the current PC market,” he said. “Obviously our goal is to achieve good results at this level of performance. And then you have features that are actually very difficult to create if you're building your own gaming PC from parts.
“Things like the small form factor and I think the noise level that we've achieved, or lack thereof, is really impressive, and we're really excited for people to find out how quiet this thing is.”
