    Maybe this is how the consoles die. Do they really make that much on hardware?

    I’m guessing they make their money on taking a percentage from each game sold on their hardware.

    I wonder if we will see the end of PlayStation at some point as people transition to things like the steamdeck.

    It has all the benefits of pcgaming and can really just be interacted with like a console.

      The steam deck is the best thing to happen to gaming in a long time. My partner and I fight over it because we only have one. It actually got me back into gaming in general for the first time in years. I have a ps5 and an Xbox series s and a switch but i hadn’t played in years until the steam deck. I really believe that the steam deck and things like it will change the way games are made. Its wild stuff.

        I think it already has. Basically every modern game works in it. The iGPU is good but some games don’t look great, but the fact that these games will at least be playable is amazing.

        I’m playing showed now and it runs and looks great. Of course it’s far from what a modern dgpu can make it look like, but I’m never gaming at a desk again.
