Valve is traditionally a software company. Open platforms like the PC and Mac are important to us, as they enable us and our partners to have a robust and direct relationship with customers. We’re frustrated by the lack of innovation in the computer hardware space though, so we’re jumping in. Even basic input, the keyboard and mouse, haven’t really changed in any meaningful way over the years. There’s a real void in the marketplace, and opportunities to create compelling user experiences are being overlooked.

Cool, Valve is making a custom Valve/Steam game console or computer which is used to run Valve software and maybe even a custom operating system designed for gaming.
I would buy an affordable Valve console, or PC with faster performance, a lot of free hard drive space, cheaper games, and custom game controller for gaming on the couch.
I think Valve is making a console for gamers who might not want a Windows 8 PC, Apple Mac, PS4, Xbox 720, and Wii U, but can't afford or build a gaming PC, but own a lot of Valve Steam games which they want to play.
