It is an option but...

1) all options are more expensive than a PS4
2) the vast majority of my friends will still game on a console, it's way to hard to get everyone gaming mainly on steam.

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.
