1. Steam Box hasn't been released. There have been rumoured specs, and specs for some beta boxes that have been sent out (those specs varying from box to box), but nothing more. It's a system in development. Thus, one can't really comment on existing porting capability, etc, but can only speculate. I was not asserting the existing Steam platform (the service that works with regular PCs) was like the Wii U in any sense.

You are aware that Valve isn't making a Steam Box, right? Steam Machines are just a line of third party gaming computers that come with SteamOS, and we've already seen a lot of them.

"Along with the different manufacturers, Valve will also be releasing their own version of the Steam Box. This version will be considered the benchmark for the devices, and the others will highlight other features such as physical design, quietness, price and even power."

That's the one I'm talking about.
