Is it measured by $ or amount of purchases? Because if it’s $ then I’m not surprised :)
To be fair, even if it was $, most Steam Decks costs around (or less) than one tenth of a triple A game's price. Selling hardware in this quantity is insanity.
Edit: 10 times. Not one tenth. Oops. I meant that they need to sell less than 1/10th in VOLUME to match the sum of a triple A game. And selling that much hardware is really impressive in my opinion.
Can you clarify, a steam deck is like 400 bucks and a game is like 60-70
See the edit, I was pretty tired when writing the comment. Sorry for the confusion
