Discussion Steam Machine vs. Xbox Project Helix

I’m gonna post it in here after the mods in the Steam Machine subreddit deleted my previous post (although it had plenty of engagement & discussion between people).

Is anybody else willing to wait for both Xbox Project Helix AND the Steam Machine to be released into the market to compare and contrast?

I imagine the Steam Machine specs just won’t be worth it in terms of value for money in comparison to the next-gen Xbox console?

I understand the simplicity of just turning on the machine and having Steam at our fingertips but if it’s as easy as downloading the Steam app on the next-gen Xbox, signing in and playing games then 🤷‍♂️

Certainly worth waiting and seeing but I'm not sure the xbox will live up to Microsoft's hype, considering nothing they do ever does. The ROG Ally X was a glimpse at where they're heading and by all accounts the whole xbox experience there is pretty poor.
