“The first generation Steam Machines offers something for every gamer, which is a critical part of extending Steam into the living room,” said Gabe Newell of Valve. “With over 3,000 games and more than 65 million gamers on Steam, it’s important to offer gamers a variety of Steam Machines that allow them to select what makes the most sense for them.”

It was also announced that Valve’s planning to sell the Steam Controller separately, which means that anyone could build their own Steam Machine at home without submitting to these third-party manufacturers. What a brilliant way to start a new gaming generation, right?
