| Kyuu said: It's a great system and fairly successful for what it is. But it's surprisingly unpopular given the internet hype and the excellent game library. Whether or not Valve and fans care is beside the point. At this rate it won't even come close to Vita lol. |
For stuff like this it's wise to look the other way internet forum hype is pointing. Enthusiasts and tinkerers are over represented on internet and not representable for the general population. To be a bit mean I would almost say that 3 900 000 of those 4 million steam decks went to tech YouTubers that drove an incredible hype around launch.
As for "traditional" console byers: traditional consoles don't come with a games compatibility list and fiddling with settings to make "almost" compatible games work. They just "work" (as long as the game was released for that console).
With that said Steam Deck is great for what it is (just to big in my opinion). But it's not for me, games I would want to play through steam that I don't get on console is usually stuff where I want keyboard and mouse.
