It runs Linux. There are 38 games on steam that run on Linux. 80% of these are small indie games and the rest are Valve games. Nothing that moves hardware at all.
So it runs just a fraction of the steam library.
Sure this might change, but do you think Publishers would port their game over to Linux? Even on Steam only 0.8% of the users use Linux.
I really fail to see a reason for publishers, consumers and retailers to support the Steambox in a major way.
In 2013 and 2014 MS, Sony and Nintendo will battle the hell out of each other with advertisements and stuff like that. I don't see Valve in this league at all.
Imagine not having GamePass on your console...
