Valve would have minor success with a console. They wouldn't have EA support and other publishers are going with their own digital distribution networks. Valve even with Apple's support would have a hard time beating Nintendo, Microsoft or Sony. Valve doesn't have the first party capabilities to support hardware and the competition is far to strong. Their is already OnLive and they will give Valve a run for their money.
I think Steam and Origin might both be available on WiiU so a Valve console is unlikely.Though if Apple wanted to enter the industry Valve would be a smart buy though personally if I was Apple I would go for EA or UbiSoft or Activision those would be massively expensive but it would be worth the investment.
