      ? How so?

      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.

        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
