Exit Sony, enter Valve.

Valve has the resources to make a move. With estimated equity at around 2.5 billion dollars, consistently improving revenues through Steam, as well as multiple blockbuster franchises. I would love to see Valve enter the console market.

valve...AND sony....together.

Think back to the past 3 years of valve and gabe praising playstation.

Next generation... Xbox720, PS4, Wii U, Valvebox, Ouya???
That's too many console makers for one generation! Something must die.

Yeah, question is though; who's gonna give?

 

After we got Steam Big Picture (or whatever it's called) I kinda disregarded the rumor that Valve would actually make a console like... console/box. Guess I was wrong!!



I'm on Twitter @DanneSandin!

Furthermore, I think VGChartz should add a "Like"-button.

Not a big fan of steam (I dont mind spending 2-5 dollars on DD games though), would probably buy if if supported disk based games. If its just some PC clone that only does Steam, I cant imagine it making a big impact over a computer that can be upgraded as well as play games/apps/services not on steam.



Getting an XBOX One for me is like being in a bad relationship but staying together because we have kids. XBone we have 20000+ achievement points, 2+ years of XBL Gold and 20000+ MS points. I think its best we stay together if only for the MS points.

Nintendo Treehouse is what happens when a publisher is confident and proud of its games and doesn't need to show CGI lies for five minutes.

I can't see mysef being to interested in it. I don't think it would sell exceptionally well either.

This just in: guy who works for Valve thinks Valve is the future. In other news, guy who works for Sony thinks the Vita isn't doomed.

Not very feasable though.  Sony as a company probably isn't interested in another joint venture considering their financial situation and how Sony-Ericson turned out.
