I'm thinking this might happen also because of the rumours about Valve making their own console, Valve lacks experience in the console business and could use Sony's expertise, also they would benefit from Sony's first party exclusives. PSN (SEN) wouldn't go away, it would just be merged with Steam on the home console so if you buy a game like LIMBO which is available on both Steam and the home console it would unlock on both platforms.
Also Sony needs help to beat the Xbox in NA, and Valve/Steam is very popular and has a lot of respect in the West. Half Life 3 would help a lot too =p
