Why did it flop?

The steam best sellers list is ordered in revenue user not units. For a game to be above it, it would have to sell 7 or more units for every 1 deck sold.

*shits on your post*
its stained with my poopie now and there's literalyl NOTHING you can do about it lol bye
*leaves thread*

>Does it have ray tracing?
Yes, it has RDNA2 graphics after all.

>How does minecraft run on it?
Very well, the Java version has run on GNU/Linux since the earliest days and Minecraft works very well with Valve's Steam controller configurations.
I've been playing it with my Steam Controller on an AMD Linux box for years.

Thing sells for over a grand on ebay. I think it's doing fine.

Cool I'm gonna buy it and do a review to make my money back.

OP didn't post the Switch
>ray tracing
Yes.

It runs decent. Probably better if you limit draw distance.

rekt faggot

What about Mac books?

>Top selling product on Steam
>Flop

>$5 reservation

The fact that it's outselling brand new games shows that isn't a flop. It'll likely wind up as the most sold Steam hardware device.

you will never get trannies out of your head :)

they couldn't ship as many as promised

>proven to be fake
>retards still parrot it

It didnt? It replaced my garbage nogames Switch. This anti-Deck crusade has been pathetic.

The reservation isn't what's selling you retard. It even shows that the actual $399 device is what's being sold.

Not really what major releases have there been since ER

Really though what incentive does anyone have for wanting this to fail? Even if you dislike steam you can wipe the device and use it however you want to.

The new Lego Starwars game which wound up being the best selling Lego game of all time.

we want it to fail because it's greedy and steals others games instead of doing its own

Its available on nearly every platform user. Unless you know the distribution for it, that fact is usless

Disregard that I suck cocks. It's only the launch, but even then it's not like it's competing against a flopping game.

Oh no it's not some proprietary gameboy or psp

PC games make up the majority of game sales in the industry. It's not a flop, that's all that matters.

i have till the 28th to finalize my purchase. should i get one or just upgrade my comp?

How is it stealing games?

Source for that claim?

>They haven't been able to produce enough units to get me one yet, despite my preorder going through 20 mins after sales went live
>flop
lol

There's a lot of potential semantics to this kind of thing, like if ARM systems count as "PCs" even if they run open platform OSes and if MacOS still counts as an open platform.
The big problem for Apple is they tend to refresh their individual Macbook models fairly recently in ways that make them different hardware, and they have larger differences between their models.

Deck, other than storage, is a single spec system with semi-custom hardware.
Nobody builds PCs this way anymore, because nobody expects to sell any particular PC in this kind of volume. Its just a question of how long Valve sticks to this basic hardware profile.

Thats occulus not steam, at best the "damage" it could provoke is devs needing to optimize thier shitty UE4 projects again.

Intresting. So how many do you think the deck will sell? I wanna say maybe 2 million but that's only based on how many people I know who use linux

who is we

It's not a flop it's just like the ouya and steam deck and the steam link and the apple console and the ... well you get the idea interest and initial investment does not a success make. Life time sales and support does.

don't compare the steam deck with the ouya, please

I’m also buying the dock for it, nintranny

If valve doesnt do a yearly refresh, I should add

So far post-launch support has been great. We've been getting huge updates weekly/biweekly.

And what is indicative of a flop in terms of its current lifetime sales (they're still months behind on fulfilling orders), or support? afaik the thing is getting biweekly updates that are each solving long term gaming on Linux problems.

steam has an app that runs on everything from phones to tv's that let you remote play games. deck is fine in that they give people who have no technical expertise portability, but it's not really the second coming.

Can't get one because is not selling in my Country

Because you don't know what flop means

Sure, but considering they haven't even gotten through the first hour of orders yet, it seems a bit premature to call it a flop. If sales drop off a cliff, sure, but right now early support seems to indicate it has a much better chance of success than Steam Machines, the Ouya, or any of those other devices. I'm not saying it can't flop, just that calling it one now is premature at best, and retarded at worst.

I assume less then 20 million, if you consider it a console. The wii u and vita were considered flops at 14 million. If you consider it a PC then maybe 5 million the best selling pc if all time sold 30 million but it clearly an outlier

It all depends on how long Valve keeps selling it and how often they do refreshes of the hardware.
2-3 million seems to be Valve's expectation after 2 years, so if there's a new Steam Deck on its way in late 2024 that will be it.
That would roughly double the number of Linux gamers on Steam, but wouldn't hit Valve's goal of putting Linux past MacOS.

My guess is that Valve wants to have about a 5 year lifespan, possibly longer if we include systems that are just minor revisions of the Deck to decrease power consumption / increase battery life, or decrease size.
Once they've caught up with the backlog, and can consistently deal with orders through Steam they're going to want to launch in other regions and put Deck on store shelves and those will greatly increase the number of units they're selling.

So I'd say around 15 million lifetime.

So in other words, there is nothing that currently indicates that it is a flop?

The Deck is a lot more like the Pandora than like any of those. Was the Pandora a flop? No! It was based.

I concede on that, I was mistaken. Howeever, PC sales aren't that much lower than console sales, and I don't think that game devs would be most interested in PC as a platform if it wasn't making them a lot of money. You can Google sales as well as game dev interest and see infographics on both.

Fucking retard it's the $5 deposit not the actual product

15 million seems right if we think it'll have a 5 year lifespan, that's half of the C64s lifespan and sales
Also not really anything to consider it a massive success either. Valve hasn't really released numbers for it.
Right but lego star wars is much more for kids then adults so I think it's safe to assume that's where its sales are coming from and most kids game on consoles.
Also that graph is depressing becouse of how dominant Mobile trash is.

So this is the power of not be able to fucking read...

>Why did it flop?
People thought it was gonna be two PS5s strapped together and sized down to a Nintendo Switch. And then you have the scalping issue that still has not gone away from game systems/pc parts.

>I think it's safe to assume that's where its sales are coming from and most kids game on consoles.
Lots of adults enjoy the game and it was a top seller on Steam around launch. I don't think that's fair to say unless past data supports this.

You may as well ignore the mobile section desu. It's the reason women are considered 52% of gamers or whatever.

>trust me guys it totally failed, it's only sold out because of scalpers who are buying it so they can resell something nobody wants
cope

scalped mine for $1500. upgrade my rig with that.

Yeah but it also only cost $50 so it would have to sell 6 copies for every 1 deck sold. Seems like the deck has the chart heavily stilted in its favour.
It's a made on order item user it can't be sold out, valve probably doesnt want to keep inventory with the fuckup that was the controller and link.
