Valve will make its own Hardware if they have to

It's not that Valve hates making games or anything, they're just opened to the possibility of creating their own Console, provided that such a thing is for the companies best interests.

"If we have to sell hardware we will," he said. "We have no reason to believe we’re any good at it, it’s more we think that we need to continue to have innovation and if the only way to get these kind of projects started is by us going and developing and selling the hardware directly then that’s what we’ll do.

"It’s definitely not the first thought that crosses our mind; we’d rather hardware people that are good at manufacturing and distributing hardware do that. We think it’s important enough that if that’s what we end up having to do then that’s what we end up having to do."

So would you buy a "Steamboy", and would a fourth competitor in the gaming world really be worth it?
