The Xbox is almost the exact opposite of what I’m talking about, and I think that’s their problem. There’s nothing special about it, it has no exclusives, and it doesn’t have access to the practically infinite number of pc games, mods, emulators, etc. So what I’m proposing is just a prebuilt pc. A prebuilt pc with a unique case, distro, and maybe a cartridge slot of some description. And with the cultural cache of a company like sega, I think it could easily earn its spot as a prebuilt living room gaming and media pc, much like the steam machine.

I think just a prebuilt PC would be pretty niche for the average person. I think they’d need to do something a little more innovative to compete. A cart slot could be one part that could help it’s appeal. But I think they’d need to give it a controller and make exclusives for it. And maybe include some new kind of feature that other systems don’t have. If it’s just a PC in a Sega case, unless it’s a great price, the only reason to really get one would be nostalgia.
