Valve Steam Deck
There’s obviously a <i>lot</i> of people who like playing games in a more mobile format, as evidenced by the huge popularity of the Switch Lite / mobile gaming.<p>Giving the PC games market access to that form factor seems, on its face, like an extremely good move.<p>But we’ve seen products like this before — the NVIDIA Shield, for one. Pretty cool piece of tech, but didn’t exactly start a revolution.<p>I guess the question becomes “what percentage of current PC gamers are motivated to shell out $400 to play on the train?”<p>Frankly, I feel like it’s probably a decent number of people? Enough for this product to do okay, if not change the whole market. But people have been very confidently incorrect about almost every iteration of mobile gaming in the past. I guess we’ll see.
