"Gabe Newell thinks Apple is going to launch a console."
He could be right - but rather than a console, just an 'iOS device' that plugs into your TV and runs app store stuff. Music, movies, games, etc. If they nail the control surface then it could be a big deal.

- ConstantineXVI 15y agoThe iPad 2 and iPhone 4S can mirror their display to the Apple TV over Wi-Fi. Provided the response time is somewhere in the range of "useful" (for reference, OnLive works within ~12ms over the Internet IIRC) and they market it properly, they'd own the home market. And even if raw streaming is too slow; the Apple TV packs an A4 SoC. Not as powerful as a Xbox 360, but at $99 it's also way cheaper. Run the game locally, use your iPod Touch as a controller.
