The Steam box is basically a nice PC for the living room, it's not just Valve's games or Steam that is going to guarantee it success. Oh no, you'd like to think to that. It's digital distribution. Remember that terminology? 7 years ago we thought it was going to alter the orbit of earth and all we saw was back-cat games. Well, enter Valve and its proposal: High end HD machine more powerful than a locomotive, tall buildings etc Packed with Steam, a large hard drive and no physical media. Now I get their angle.
Once this hits (if it hits), its going to make ripples in to waves and give the big 3 a dose of modern change and awkward transitional periods. Most gamers would love a set-top, pick-up and play, all the games loaded on the HDD console with an instant, completely free open network of about 11 Madeuptillian people. So...
I'm putting in my two cents now that this rumored console will usher in a swarm of medialess changes and possibly destroy the entire earth.
Also the controller may have a trackball lol.
