Console gamers never got a console reveal, single box to focus on or get excited about. The machines trickled out with no fanfare or with Windows...
That's the problem.
Nobody wants to choose between a dozen boxes of varying quality with SteamOS (over Ubuntu or Windows).
To make a console, you have to commit to making a console.
Sure, allow others to create knockoffs, but have a main box for us all to focus on and target, and let the clone creators worry about compatibility.
Valve just wanted to do the fun parts of making a console without committing to doing it all.
