https://n4g.com/news/2656410/steam-deck-has-barely-outsold-n-gage-as-sales-cast-doubt-on-xbox-handheld-plans

Finlaly smoeone psoted aobut it, got tiered of all tohse gayming journoids and Redditors telling how successful setam deck is, but they did managed to bite MS in taking part in the stupid idea

I didn't expect such a low number - about a 4 million.

Bceause r-slur obvious won't expect him self to be an rteard

Honestly vrey sruprising and not what I expected at all

Steam deck is over prcied at 700 eruo it has an 720p screen and it's weaker than ps5 and you probably can buy ps5 and siwtch at that price so it was always going to be niche product wtih no exclusives so no real reason to own it

Deckies really live in a bubble. They talk about how it sells like hotcakes even though its lifetime sales are what the Switch sells in a holiday quarter.

Yeah I personally know zero people that own a Steam Deck. I dunno. To me mobile gaming in general is seen as kind of a meme among capital G g*mers in the west regardless of hardware specs. The Switch is popular with kids so that makes sense but the Steam Deck is pretty obviously more of enthusiast hardware.

its a computer, it's not like console where they'll stop making games for it and you can always installed Switch emulators or w/e.

biggest problem is too many games to choose from

also OLED version just came out recently

It's a computer that's why it loses support very fast. PS4 is like 650 gtx, you can't even play new 2D games on that graphic card while new games still being released on ps4 like yakuza pirates.

>its end life cycle

Is it really? I actually hope so, cause I love everything about mine except for its battery life. So I'm excited to finally get a new one except with a battery that doesn't suck.

Didn't know we were anywhere close to that though.

No it's not, Salv is just an r-slur.

There's basically no SoC fast enough to massively beat Steam Deck at low wattage (15W or lower), it makes no sense for Valve to release a new one that's only 20-30% faster at that power. AMD also just released all their new stuff in the past half a year, expect new generation in maybe late 2026.

So I'd say new Steam Deck is like 2 years away at this point, possible more but highly unlikely to be out much sooner than that.

i only do mobile gaming when I travel really and i only bought the switch bc im a lifelong zelda fan. If nintendo didnt have a stranglehold on their IP then more people would buy its competitors. Also Switch didnt sell itself as just mobile gaming. Instead it sold it self as their next main platform console that happened to have mobile features.

It's "selling like hotcakes" comparatively in its segment, handheld gaming PC's. Before Steam Deck, that used to be weird GPD Win or Aya Neo things, they'd be happy if they sold 100k copies I'd say.

Deck selling 4 million is a big success, the fact Asus, Lenovo, Zotac entered the market and all the GPD, AYN, Aya, Retroid whatever companies are launching 1 device/month should clue you in as to how companies feel about the growth of this segment since Steam Deck came out.
