So Microsoft think that Valve is going into something really hard for them?
Oh really ? Lets go back in time a little bit when Microsoft released the Xbox ...
1- They didn't have any freaking exclusives .actually they had some stupid ones, I remember that they bought the rights for DinoCrisis which was really a great success for Capcom and turned it into one of the most stupid games EVER !! (Please don't say Halo cause the first two original games were playable on windows and in my opinion if it's on windows it's not exclusive cause most of the world is using windows as an OS)
2- When Xbox came out Sony was taking more than 50% of the market! even the mighty Nintendo couldn't do anything to it !! (And in my opinion Microsoft & Nintendo were lucky 'cause Sony didn't bring anything new to the PS3 like what Microsoft & Nintendo did to the Xbox360 and Wii)
3- Again they were LUCKY because Sony didn't add that much of change on the PS and they used the XNA weapon which is a genius way to get more customers
4- I'm a Sony fan so when it comes to games Microsoft can go away :P
And now let's move to Valve !, I think they have a really good shot to make it in the console industry
1- They already got the HIT exclusives like Half-Life, Left 4 Dead, Portal, and those games got a big fan-base so they will get some attention.
2- They made the source engine usable for the animators and that will help them to get some fresh minds to help them in the development process
3- After reading about the Steam Controller I really want to try it!
4- The market is kinda fair nowadays, there's no ruling company, like Sony back in a day, and everybody has a fair share (Kinda)
But lets be honest , developing a new OS will be a challenge specially there are making a Linux-based one so they have to work hard to make it unique #MyOpinion
And always remember there's a place for everybody.
Thank you for reading.
