I'm always surprised by how small the Steam Deck playerbase is. It has such strong word of mouth, but the niche it supports seems pretty small.

Honestly it doesn't surprise me that much. Steam is such a MASSIVE platform that's been around for 22 years, while the steam deck came OUT in '22.

Arguably the handheld market is also much more of a niche in comparison to a gaming desktop. In the broader context of the size of the platform the Deck is doing pretty good.
