Within a few years the handheld market will mainly be between Switch 2 and Steam Deck 2.
Competitors have to step up their game if they want to compete with these guys.
Eh. Steam Deck will have to up its game significantly if it wants to be in the same ballpark as Switch. It’s a little baby compared to Switch sakes sales, not even close.
I don’t agree. The Steam Deck is a big hit, especially considering it’s Valves first handheld.
The Steam Deck 2 will become a huge success. Mark my words.
I mean, the Switch has sold over 146 million units by now. Sales numbers for the Steam Deck aren’t public, but I’d estimate them around 3 or 4 million at most. That is a big difference.
For comparison, the PSP sold 80 million. Even the PS Vita sold 15 or 16 million. The biggest seller among handhelds is still the NDS at 154 million.
Of course, these handhelds have been in stores for a lot longer than the Steam Deck, but those numbers are a lot bigger!

I imagine Steam might have a power/messaging problem if they make a successor to the Deck. “Does this run” becomes more confusing.
