Gabe Newell Gets Cozy with Sony

So here’s one surprise we didn’t see coming. As you know by now, Gabe Newell’s been pretty outspoken when speaking about the PlayStation 3, so it shocked us when he took the stage at Sony’s E3 briefing to revise his views on the company’s home console:

I’ve been pretty outspoken in my comments about the current generation of game consoles. So I’d really like to thank everyone at Sony for their gracious hospitality and for not repeatedly punching me in the face.

Praising the open nature of Sony’s console, he then went on to announce Portal 2 with Steamworks support for the PlayStation 3, stating it would be the best version on ANY console – take THAT Microsoft! Portal 2′s official trailer followed the announcement, check out the trailer here.
