Sorry, but why would a console company make a controller like this? Racing games, platformers, fighting games, adventure games and rpg's don't get anything from such a design. It's MAYBE good for FPS and RTS but then, mouse and keyboard are still better.

I think that is part of my reaction. I am stumped at what the controller is for. Is it just FPS or RTS? Other stuff make little sense to me at all.
The Wii U's controller makes a LOT more sense than the Steam Machine controller to me.
Seeing that, I am thinking it can be the case of market evolutionary development, which is what current controllers have, vs developing something in a lap, and thinking you know better.
And note, I am not busting on the thumb controller side, but other people might. That may actually work better, eventhough I also have reservations about it.
Well, I think I did see one pic, where the central screen was covere and there were 4 plastic overlays on top, so maybe it lends to a more traditional controller config that way.

I'm honestly curious what specifically makes the controller unsuitable for certian types of games. In terms of games I've personally played (which I'll admit may be somewhat limited) I don't forsee any complications.
Could you explain that to me?

I use three fingers (like in a arcade) instead of my right thumb to press face buttons whenever it's possible (always for 3D fighting games) because it's faster (no need to move the right thumb to different spots, plus makes pressing multiple buttons at the same time (something like A+Y) easy). With this controller that's impossible.
