A new gaming device offers an unique challenge to the Xbox One and PS4

During 2013, Microsoft and Sony debuted their new consoles, but now Valve looks to make their new gaming device a steep competition in the gaming scene. After Valve became most popular for the digital distribution of PC games and apps through its online Steam store, they decided to jump into gaming hardware with the creation of the Steambox platform. Valve introduced this platform in 2013; this platform combines console-like hardware that runs PC games based on Steam. The platform also works with a Valve-designed custom controller. At the CES 2014, Valve announced that it will partner with PC makers that will make and sell the Steambox. Companies such as Dell, Maingear, Falcon Northwest, and Origin PC actually showed some early prototypes of the Steambox.
