A lot of games on the market today are allowing controller support, and not just ported games. PC-Only games are making the leap for the casual gamer. More and more homes are putting PCs in their living rooms for internet TV and things like that. It's a natural jump, and I think it's where the thought for the SteamBox comes from. PC-heavy publishers and studios have gotten tired of the loss in consumers to the console market, and if they make a game primarily for console they're limited to that hardware/software without the ability to immediately leap forward. That is why PC games are becoming more well-rounded (with a lot of help from Steam, who's also pushing Mac/Linux support). Then that, in turn, is making the console market a little weary about their stuff being stagnant. I think I'd buy a Playstation if the next one was modularized, to be honest.

Also, I'm removing the Stormcloaks topic and moving this to the Off-Topic Board.
