Some of you who have played some older computer games may recognize Valve as a popular maker. It is now developing consoles that will hope to take down Sony and Microsoft. The popular title "Half Life" was a huge success, sold through its online Steam store. Right now, Valve is working with hardware partners to begin selling their new console in 2014. This company has a huge base of computer-gamers that they will utilize for the success of their new console, hopefully. Generally, these sorts of ventures are not a big threat to console-developers but Valve's user base makes them a big scale contender. It's Steam store found the amount of success needed to influence Microsoft and Sony to attempt and duplicate the online-purchasing system.Funny enough, Valve's co-founder Gabe Newell was a Harvard Dropout who worked for Microsoft for 13 years. Another smart dropout, how do you think the new console will do?
