This is most likely about what Valve is expecting out of this.

I think there is a disconnect with how some posters here perceive some products. Especially obvious when we had posts about how products like these are going to significantly cut into Switch 2 sales. Or even expecting something like the PS portal to do significant numbers.

Yeah the enthusiast bubble is a real thing; if you only listened to internet forums you'd think nobody bought a Wii, the Gamecube sold 100 million plus, and the Steam Deck dethroned the Switch. It's easy to forget that those of us who take the time to post on gaming forums make up like 0.1% of the total gaming audience.
