Other markets valve has said they are working on: Mobile (confirmed by mobile steam release) Console (I thought the PS3 release of portal 2 and how gabe talked about it signified they were going to work steam into that platform, but not much has been done on that front) MMO Social Like I've said before, they are spreading themselves too thin with the number of employees they have. It will mean an inevitable loss of PC gaming focus. You also forgot they are working on a "Big TV" mode for Steam. My guess is that new hardware is going to launch with that. At the same time I don't think this will be a console anymore than a branded PC designed for Gaming. It won't affect those that already have custom machines but for novice builders or people looking for an easy solution it will. I don't think Valve will ever lose their PC focus given things they have said and done in the past. If anything I think they are trying to grow the PC again by making the PC gaming hardware affordable.
