First iterations of a console always start out small. It’s the second iteration that has the consumer confidence and you get a boom in sales. If the Steam Machine drops this year. I expect it to sell 10 million consoles in the first year.
It’s an old person thing, probably, but I don’t enjoy phone sized screens beyond reading and such. I don’t know how people see an Apple Watch well enough to use it comfortably.
Laptop is fine most days but I really want that desktop screen when I can get it.
I can’t imagine Stellaris or AC or even Pathfinder on a phone or iPad mini sized screen. Like TV, most people aim bigger not smaller. I can still have portable games at 15” instead of 7”.
I’m always surprised by how small the Steam Deck playerbase is. It has such strong word of mouth, but the niche it supports seems pretty small.

My sister struggles, I don’t (not the Apple Watch, the small screen) . I have a decent set of glasses, she cant be fcuked… I’m 58.
