If Valve somehow made an actual SteamBox to compete directly with Xbox1 and PS4... with identical tech specs for example,
and offered the same game library as Xb1/PS4 (EA Sports games especially) - THEN It would take heavy convincing not to buy it... considering how large my Steam library has become.
I'm not sure how why Valve abandoned the idea but it almost seems like it would be worth it to sell the console at a loss just gain console market share and subsequently steam software sales.
