Valve didn’t prove Steam Machines, didn’t really market them, and game support wasn’t there, they just launched it with a promise to fix stuff.
They did the opposite with the Steam Deck, they proved the concept with their own hardware, they marketed them heavily, and they had a ton of games ready to go at launch.
They learned from the mistakes made with the Steam Machine.
Same mistakes as the Steam Machines
? How so?

The SD success is that there is one to buy in turn having only 1 to develop for
SM failure was that they all had different specs/price points
