What exactly is stopping Sony or Microsoft from putting PC parts

>Reliability
>Cutting edge

Pick one

yeah what if valve tossed a bunch of computer parts into a box and called it a console, shit would sell like hot ca-

oh

oh they did that. it flopped

They should just sell an operating system instead of pretending consoles are needed anymore. Let the kids have nintendo.

Because they have to make a machine that they can sell for $300-400 and turn a profit.

If they made mass produced a console with cutting edge PC parts it would retail for a few hundred dollars more.

The difference is that Valve isn't a brand that most console gamers are familiar with

>$1000 parts

>Affordable consoles

Yeah, no

your forgetting that modern consoles are mostly off the shelf parts and just...pc parts shaped differently and with massive amounts of built in drm

They are expensive to manufacture to every single unit

The consoles themselves are just barely being sold at a loss

PS4 and Xbox One are basically using off-the-self PC components already.

If you're asking why they aren't using more modern specs; it's because they need to strike a balance between cost and power. They COULD put the latest CPU/GPUs inside their machines but they'd need to charge $600/700+ to see any kind of profit.
