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

PC ain't standardised so a switch 2 for 400 buxx will destroy it

plenty of companies still make VR headsets barely anyone buys and its still a business
consoles are just a mega business. if xbox marketed a deck competitor that might kill it tho, assuming they support Steam library

I seen 30k VR glasses (legit glasses) but VR is unique shit and has some uses like pilot training or doctor training.
It's just Zuckercuck tries to bring it in mainstream but seems like he slowed down a bit in recent years

luckily valve doesnt really care about profitability they just make whatever they think will be cool
unluckily this means they could sell switch numbers and just stop development on a random tuesday because a lead engineer "wanted to try something else"

Honestly really cool, good for them. If they're going to discontinue the Deck I just hope they preemptively announce it before stopping production because I'll want to buy a backup.

It's incredibly frustrating for the consumer but also the exact reason basically everything they touch turns to gold
It's all passion projects, even the hardware

the reaso its a no for me is all the games could be played on my gaming laptop which i can rationalize as a work purchase. Rather than buy a steam deck id rather jist upgrade my comp.

Mine was the opposite. I didn't want to bother upgrading my laptop.
I'm still stuck at where I like the big 17" screen and full keyboard but it's too big sometimes.

i like to vonnect to my big screen and use wirless mouse/keyboard/gamepad on my libing room couch.

That's what I have my desktop PC for. It's connected to every TV and I use an xbone controller. When I'm traveling for work though, my laptop isn't quite powerful enough.
I'd either be dumping 1500+ in a laptop and compromise on the screen size / keyboard breathing room, or $450 for a secondhand steam deck.
Plus built in controller is better than keyboard+moose on a hotel bed

I thought Gaben was pleasantly surprised by the sales before, so I would not call it a failure like Steam Machine.

Mine is a launch 512, three years old, and it still feels, looks and runs like it's brand new. It feels like a premium piece of hardware despite the low price. I imagine a lot of people enjoy being able to play AAA slop on it, but for me the emulation potential is just absolute top tier and I think anyone who likes retroshit (PS2 and earlier) can make no better vidya purchase than a deck. Emudeck is amazing. The deck itself is ideal for anything at all previously published on a console. It's brilliant.

Same, it does what it advertised to do in that price range, and it does it well.
