I guess but most people don't like having coords strung across the room due to them tangling and stuff.

The PS4 and Xbox are going to go for a PC architecture... Also, we don't know the size of the PS4 nor the Xbox yet, so the Steambox could in reality be bigger than them.

maybe?, maybe the Steambox waits until the other next-gen consoles are going to be released.
