On the flip side, Steam (and PC gamign in general) could learn a few things from console gaming if it actually wants to compete. Things like Darth Aspie's mention of Steambox, for example. The idea of The Big Picture and having a line of "steambox" PCs is to essentially consolise the market. Few games are designed with "couch" co-op in mind, though. Some are, I mean, but far fewer than even consoles (where the idea is slowly dwindling anyway).
Which is especially a shame, given the fact that more and more games support a 360 control pad natively.
Whether people like it or not, by the way, Steam is competition for consoles. Even without the "Steambox," it's a gaming platform. Competition (and comparisons, rivalries, whatever) are inevitable.
