Valve is making a huge mistake with the Steam Machine

Who knows, but "Reason # 4: They'll be going up against already well established names". The same happens with Sony & the first playstation, and they won the generation. Valve has a renown thanks to its digital platform.
Maybe, they are gonna destroy the competence :P

 True, but Sony's only real competition at the time was Nintendo, and they're main advantage was loads of third party support, something that Nintendo didn't have. Sony did what they still do to this day and marketed the console as the one with a multitude of games to play, while Nintendo just kindof marketed... well... Nintendo. Valve doesn't have that advantage, especially not in the console buisiness. Clearly that ball is Sony and MS's court and it won't be leaving anytime soon.

Yeah, but If I'm not wrong, this is going to have almost the entire steam library? That's a lot of third party support, right?

And with a possible HL3, Portal 3 and some other exclusive or timed-exclusive this could be a success, I guess.

I'm hoping that one of the machines is a $600 or so powerhouse that can give me prettier multiplats and games like Rome 2 that I can't get on playstation 4.  Ill of course get ps4 for exclusives (most of my ps3 library is exclusives)
