I have Steam on my Macbook Pro and have struck a fine balance:
1) indie games and graphically less intense games like Starcraft/Civilization on the laptop
2) all other games on console, especially games that I can't play on my laptop... like CoD, Skyrim, Red Dead Redemption - you know, games that should look nice. I love sports games, and I believe Fifa and NHL have much larger online communities on consoles too.

I can understand this. I really wish Valve had followed through on the SteamBox (or whatever they were going to call it), but the projected sales vs hardware costs likely just didn't make it feasible. Though, there's a good chance you could cook up an mITX-based HTPC that runs better than a PS4/XBone for ~$600 (less if you buy used parts).
