Bro, he said a minority in the handheld space. Why would you use the number that included everything that is not handheld?
Competition in the handheld gaming device is good. Why would we want another category where Valve has a monopoly in?
I doubt Microsoft has what it takes to completely overcome Linux’s advantages, and the competition will not stifle SteamOS’s growth because it is a growing market. Both handheld OS can occupy its own niche that they are good at.
- Comment on Microsoft dives into the handheld gaming PC wars with the Asus ROG Xbox Ally 1 week ago:
Steam Deck sold about 3.7 million units, while the handheld PCs have sold around 6 million since the Steam Deck was launched. I don’t know about you, but that doesn’t sound like a minority to me unless you’re counting the Switch, as well.
However, neither this Xbox handheld and the Steam Deck will be able to even compare to the volume being sold by Nintendo, so what’s the point of even including it in this comparison? We might as well include Android gaming in that comparison, then, which should dwarf everything else by comparison.

They would both have different strengths, so handheld Windows will never snuff out SteamOS when it has a pretty good head start already. Not to mention that any windows handheld will be more expensive than a SteamOS one unless Microsoft is willing to give them away for free.

It probably won’t whoop Linux, but if it can at least get the performance closer, we could have an excitingly competitive handheld OS market.

It’s clearly bi-directional.
