  Valve hardware is niche. They have (as of 2024) less than 400 people working there, and surely most of them of Steam and… maybe some games.

  I really heard nothing in their presentations and interviews to suggest they have grand aspirations of shifting 10s of millions of units. The Deck I think is considered a success, and still only moved in a few years what the Switch did in a few months.

  I think their target demographic is PC gamers who are just not super enthusiastic about the endless hardware grind.

  I don’t think Valve is trying to convert console players. I think (and they’ve implied) that they’re trying to offer what a lot of Steam Deck buyers have been asking for: a more powerful Steam Deck that plays more of their library. That they took a lot of cues from consoles in terms of packaging and design is really more about “the living room” than that specific customer they’re targeting.

  I could have consoles, and I choose not to because I have a large Steam library and, as OP said, they’ve earned my trust.
