"Am I going back to the PS4 days?" - Former PlayStation president Shuhei Yoshida shares a very mixed Steam Machine review

It might sound like a betrayal, but PlayStation legend Shuhei Yoshida has a Steam Machine perched next to their TV. The former president even took time to share a bullet-point review covering their thoughts after a few hours of play, and oh boy, does he have mixed feelings about the new PS5 rival, its $1,049 price tag, and PC gaming capabilities.

In an X post appropriately titled "Thoughts after a few hours of playing with Steam Machine," Yoshida rhymes off a pretty long list of testing takes. I'm not sure how I'd feel if I were Valve, sifting through some of these for some industry veteran insight, as he kicks things off with "3D performance is just…meh." Yikes.
