Today was a big day for gamers as Valve just introduced three products: the Steam Controller, the Steam Machine, and the Steam Frame. When you add this alongside the Steam Deck, I think it's safe to say that Valve is about to win the next console generation.

Fair. I am not sure what that means but probably: Valve PC Sales > Each Separate Console Sale

Yea, that's unlikely but not impossible.

Definitely not impossible. I also think they have a decent chance of killing the Xbox business model, given that there's no real reason to buy an Xbox over a PC other than brand loyalty or wanting a console. The Steam Machine fills that second need, of course.
