What do the Steam Machines mean for this generation?

I'm just gonna copy what I've written in another thread:

Ladies and Gentlemen, allow me to make a prediction!

SteamOS will revolutionalise the gaming industry, nothing will be the same again once... Once it becomes compatible with Tegra 5 generation tablets and especially in Tegra 6 gen. Just imagine - it will no longer be PC vs. console as it is now. Imagine yourself having one Steam account and being able to play all your games on your powerful Steam PC at home and on a tablet while on the go!! You just take the Steam controller and you're set. The tablets should also work with a mouse and keyboard obviously, but that's details. Just think - you pay once and you can play all the games you have either on your PC or on the tablet with the controlls of your choice. This would be an earthquake for the market! No more half-assed games on the go, we get full-blown AAA games with PS3 or Wii U level graphics on the go and at the same time the home PC version is superior to the PS4/XO. Handhelds suddenly become obsolete, home consoles become so much less attractive, Apple products suddenly start to lack a huge function and become inferior left with just Gameloft's crap. One move and Valve kicks Sony, Nintendo, MS and Apple in the nuts.

God damn, this can be huge. And it all starts with this questionable controller...

 

SteamOS will be doing quite badly until it starts to give us something mindblowing. Tablet+PC integration would be mindblowing. It could potentially end all console wars.
