Why is an 11 year old console that has been followed up by several successful hardware releases including a device that is basically a desktop with a screen built-in relevant at all to an assessment of the new Steam Machine?
IMO… is not relevant to compare the steam deck, because the handheld market and in the desktop market are very different people.
I do not have a steam deck, but I would probably be interested in a new steam desktop, since I game primarily on a console and would like better access to the PC market.
However my point was it was premature to declare it a winner, when 1) it has not yet been released and 2) when other consoles currently on the market are still dominating the steam deck when it comes to sales.
Clearly we have different opinions on that and you are viciously opposed to mine.
I do think this could be a good way of converting steam deck users to desktop consoles.
The handheld and console markets are not that different though.
I think the author makes a good case for why the ecosystem is set up right for a success here.
But clearly you're viciously opposed to my opinion.
Only because you approached this topic with hate instead of a friendly conversation. This suggests mental issues… but this is Lemmy, and that’s pretty much all of us.
No hate, just honesty. You interpreting it as hate suggests mental issues... but, ya know.
I love a good pivot, nice
Cheers!
Oh me too, let me know if you see one!
