Speaking in a recent interview, Valve founder Gabe Newell stated that he believes the Wii is “more valuable,” than the Xbox 360 or PlayStation 3.

I think we’ll bring them in house more for licensees issues than our own. Just for our own priorities, that puts the Wii at a much higher priority at understanding that. I think the Wii represents more of a challenge because of its input. You can think of the Xbox 360 as pretty much a PC and a PlayStation as kind of a PC. The Wii gives you a bunch of problems that don’t fit into that model. You can’t think of it as graphics, CPU, texture bandwith scaling, you have to think of it as more fundamentally, and I think it’s more valuable. I think it’s more interesting than just graphics chip – CPU combination. It’s the machine I have at home.

So Gabe, where are the Wii games? None in development right now, which Gabe admits, is an “obvious hole” in Valve’s strategy.
