Don't get me wrong it sucks right now but what is going to happen is that in 10 years consoles will be dead. The hardware to push a 1080p 3D scene isn't all that expensive. Look at the WiiU, they say that it is barely more powerful than an XBox 360. In a couple of years something equivalent to a Raspberry Pi will be all you need in terms of hardware and at that point the cost of the OS becomes a major factor. Anybody will be able to put out a "console". You'll have a race to the bottom in console hardware just to get buy-in to an online game store. Gabe/Valve/Steam are trying to get a jump on it but I'd bet that GoogleTV/Android get pulled in that direction too.
