5 console race, Sony, M$, Nintendo, Valve, and the Ooya. What do you think about this, good or bad? Will there be too much saturation or will that be good for the industry, via quality control?

I think it will be interesting to see how this plays out. I don't see the Ooya doing to hot, due to the Steambox console, and the Steambox may also hurt M$, but then again, Microsoft also works on computers, in which steam is big on. Nintendo seems to be in their own little world, so they should be fine. They do enough innovation to set them apart from the rest, along with a ton of properties.

I am interested most in the Steambox. If Steam can connect to the Steambox and have the Steamstore (with their great deals and tons of game) it should be good, plus we could see Half-Life 3 on the Steambox too.

So what are your thoughts on 5 consoles being out at once?
