Valve apparently takes a 30% cut of each game sold, so it wouldn't surprise me if they could come to some sort of arrangement to bring Steam to the Sony platform and split it 10% Sony, 20% Valve, 70% publisher - or have a different arrangement, where say Sony has to provide the bandwidth themselves. Afterall, 1/3 of a shit ton of money is better than 1/3 of nothing for Sony, while Valve would dramatically increase their marketshare. And Sony might still pursue its own online store simultaneously, so it can hedge its bets.

I can't see Sony surrendering that much control, and I can't see what they would gain out of it. A little bit of name recognition? Okay, but what about the marketing Steam (and the PC) get in return? Wouldn't that be concerning? It's just a store, it's not like a store would somehow make porting PC titles easier, so I don't see what it would add.
