For PC gaming, Valve is the gorilla. No one else comes close.
- sebkomianos 13y agoAs much as I'd like Valve to be successful, Nintendo has been in the video games industry since 1974 and is the oldest video games company alive. One is not simply "about to be" like them with an announcement.
- chinpokomon 13y agoIt is easy to fall from that perch, just ask Atari or Sega. It is just as easy for some other party, such as Sony or Microsoft to claim the crown. Valve has every chance to change things as much as Ouya. Unfortunately, but like everyone else, they don't control their destiny -- the consumers do. Consumers don't always pick the best or the most innovative technology as the winner. Only time will tell.
- sebkomianos 13y agoYou can't say "Nintendo will fall because Atari and Sega have both felt" because, well, Nintendo hasn't felt yet, unlike the other two. Nintendo is still here, dominating the handheld market and defining the consoles one. Only time will tell, sure. But until Valve or Ouya or any other company actually achieve something that big, they are just newcomers.
