@Beforet: I suspect the answer is that it won't. If Valve tries to make a Steam machine for living room use, they're not going to be aiming for the people who already use Steam, and already know how to hook their PCs up to their tvs - they'll be marketing to everyone else. There's a whole demographic of console gamers that don't touch their PCs, and therefore aren't giving Valve any money, for their game purchases; by putting a small mid-priced PC with a steam-based interface to sit in the same place the rest of one's consoles do, those people might start buying from Steam.
