Xi3 PISTON and Steam Announcements, Coincidence?

Months ago GAMINGtruth brought news about Xi3 stemming from GDC. The news was about the virtual reality support of the console on day one. With the most recent Steam announcements, could we see the roll out of Steam Machines?

The main website to Xi3 now reads, "The wait is over" and promises for an update on Monday, September 30th.
