Where is Valve looking to be in the future? Currently it's not a definite as they're still deliberating on which path to take. Their expression of interest being for the Playstation 3 and Nintendo Wii.
It was originally thought that Valve did not like Sony's latest console, but Doug Lombardi has said otherwise.
Despite interest in the Wii, they say it would cost a lot more money making the PS3 a tempting alternate.
On a lesser note, the article also mentions that this may be a plus for the game Left 4 Dead.
So which will it be, Nintendo or Sony?
We're always evaluating what's happening in the marketplace and certainly something that's happening in the last couple of months is that Sony's managed to sell some boxes.
So whether or not you like developing for that platform, if they've got millions of people connected to that platform and buying their games you have to take it seriously.
I think the big thing was that you had the platform holder who had won clearly in the past two generations - who had millions of people who wanted the PS3 to be a huge success. But when it came out it got off to a slow start.
