Steam says hello.

I think steam is competing with playstation and Xbox. Would love to see steam make a dedicated home console though.

Steam is living proof that you don't need competition to run an industry well. Steam since its release back in 2004, has grown to offer the best value in gaming and is the biggest platform for gaming outside of the mobile market. Think about this for a second, in the console industry, Competition is the reason you have to pay for online.  It was also Competition that raised console prices this gen.
