The Z2 Extreme is drastically better than what comes with the current Steam Deck.

I wonder if that chip hits all their price target though.

Xbox Steam deck for $100 more incoming.

I've long said that Xbox best Gamepass move would be to just allow it to exist on Steam. Unfortunately for MS, Valve has no incentive to do such a thing.

My dream handheld at the moment is a 32GB Z2 Extreme with a 1600p OLED screen that can go up to 144Hz and VRR. Yes, I am aware that most games won't come remotely close to those specs, but 800p looks pretty good on the original Legion Go and the 144Hz, gives excellent options as well. I'd also love to see BFI added in.

Lenovo Legion Go 2 might fit that bill

The steam deck is currently ranked 6th in global steam revenue. The cheapest steam deck is 400 dollars.

If we assume the steam deck is generating 100 million in revenue per month which would be the equivalent of a 50 dollar game selling 2 million copies a month (we know for example Dune awakening is at around 700K units sold since it launched).

Assuming every SKU is the cheapest one, which we know it isn't 100 million divided by 400 is 250K units.

The most expensive steam deck is 650. The fewest units would be at about 150K units.

Think it's safe to assume it's around or under 100 million in revenue per month. Lest we believe Eldenring Night reign is doing 2.5 million units per month. We know it's done 3.5 million total across platforms in 2 weeks. We could maybe extrapolate that to 5 million (6 if we were being generous) over the month, and assume at most the 2.5 would represent half the total sales going to PC.



It said the by the end of summer

How many Steam Deck consoles do you believe have sold?

How many Steam Deck consoles do you believe have sold?

Probably anywhere between 3-6 million units.

 

[Bonfires Down]

I honestly only used mine for retro gaming, kinda regret buying it.

That's as good a use case as any since weaker systems may not be able to emulate more demanding consoles.

 

[Sooner]

Probably anywhere between 3-6 million units.

Yes, so, basically nothing.

The Z2 Extreme is drastically better than what comes with the current Steam Deck.

It's not "drastically" better but could be about 40-50% higher in certain games (not all).

Main issue is that Z2E can't do FSR 4 which is what I would think Valve is waiting for. And that's probably 2027 for handhelds.
