Don't know how the price varies in different regions, but that should easily translate into $300 million revenue, maybe even over 400. More than the EGS made in one year with all games combined, lol.

Their own accounts tweet out stuff like "Monster Hunter is verified" - so they clearly care about that.

I think there could be a market for that. It's smaller and competes more with stuff like the Ayn Odin, which are in the same price range - the big positive is just that it's x86 and not Arm/Android based.

If you limit your expectations a bit, it could be a nice device for somewhat older games.

Curious about what a "subscription" means, though.

(notice they're calling it the "HoloISO System" now)

Quoting: legluondunetIt would be interesting to know if they pay a fee to Valve to use Steam OS on their device. in this case, the cost of the royalties must be lower than if they used the Windows operating system and they would save the costs of creating their own gaming-oriented operating system, which would explain this surprising decision.
Why would they pay a fee?

Valve will be happy about this, as it increases the marketshare for SteamOS.

How’s the performance on Steam Deck? Can you get stable 60fps at low TDP?
I have the setting on high. With 10 watts you get like high 80 fps, with 11 watts 90 fps all the time.

edit: Just tested some more... at least when you use the "celebration" environment with the fireworks and tons of particles it can drop down to about 65 fps even at 15 watts. Never went below that for me, but still at high settings.
