> As Steamboxes begin to roll out and the platform gains more developer support, owners of Ubuntu phones will find that the device they're already carrying around is also a microconsole.

If those phones have x86 processors, that is. Ubuntu phone supports ARM, but Steamboxes certainly won't.

Is an obvious direction to take either option, though. (Phones to x86 or steam to arm.)

I mean, sure, the heavier lifting of the games probably couldn't dream of going arm. Not sure on many of what I would presume are emulated games, though.
