Sweetie... PSVR2 requires developers to build games specifically for it... or it's useless junk... just like the Vita was.

That's not the case with the Steam Deck... The Steam Deck is a handheld PC.. which doesn't even require you to use Steam.

They do though. Plenty of games are unplayable on the deck because the games weren't built for it.

It's a PC.. you can literally install windows on it and play *any* PC game....

PS VR2 is a flop. Steam deck is not.

Hope that helps.

Well ps vr2 isn’t really a flop. I thought 250k plus is not a bad debut for a gimmick machine and its lineup of on-rails shovelware.

Steam deck is definitely a flop, couldn't give a rats ass about what you want to label VR. Doubt it will even touch vita numbers.

Sales like that make all the fanboy circle-jerking over it even more asinine and irritating than it already was.

Nobody did anything of the sort.. The most irritating thing is PS fanboys whining for another Vita which ACTUALLY flopped.. unlike the Steam Deck

And the best thing is you know they're begging Sony for another Vita.... BECAUSE the Steam Deck exists and they're jealous

Vita sells an estimated 16M units, it's a flop
Steam Deck sells an estimated 1.6M units and will sell, in its lifetime, maybe 10M units, it's a success

You have to pick your arguments carefully. And by the way, I don't disagree, but the way you try and spin this makes you sound like a 5-year old whose pacifier was stolen by a boy dressed in blue.

There's no argument here. It's all about context. Vita sold 16M while the 3DS sold 76M..... Vita failed for MANY reasons... Sony's expectations were obviously higher than what they achieved. Vita was sold at retail, and had millions of unsold units collecting dust. Developers did not support the system... and Sony gave up on it.

None of those things apply to the Steam Deck. It is selling better than other handheld PC devices.. Valve makes and sells what they need.. they don't have units collecting dust on store shelves.. Its not sold at a massive loss. It doesn't depend on developers specifically creating games for it... It is a handheld PC.. Valve have already confirmed they are working on future iterations..

Again, I didn't say I disagree with you, I did say I disagree how you expose your arguments.
