Sorry guys I got it wrong because Linux dropped from the 1.2% from end of 2022.

March 2023 Steam stats.

Windows: 97.95% (96.37% at end of 2022)
Mac: 1.41% (2.37% at end of 2022)
Linux: 0.84% (1.27% at end of 2022)


What that means?

Gamers moved from Linux to Windows from end of 2022 to end of March 2023.
Arch Linux 64bits (the Steam Deck Linux) is at 0.09% a drop from 0.13% from end of 2022... so people installing Windows on Deck.
I think it's less likely that people migrated OS, especially in that amount, rather that people stopped using their steamdecks.

Yeap I don't think that is the reason... just they installed Windows in their Deck.

BTW I checked a bit more data I don't know if useful.

BASED ON MARCH 2023 SURVEY
21.22% of Linux users (0.84% of all Steam users) are using Steam Deck.
Less than 0.15% of Windows users (97.75% of all Steam users) are using Steam Deck.
Overall 0.18% of all Steam users are using Steam Deck.

Sadly I can't get the exact % of Steam Deck with Windows because it go out of the lower range that is 0.15%.

PS. You can check Steam Deck hardware by the GPU "AMD AMD Custom GPU 0405".

So ~2.16M Steam Decks :cool:

21.22% of 0.84% is 0.176% so the number of windows users is 0.18%-0.176% = 0.004% or 2% of steamdeck users are using windows. If you want to make the most generous estimate, (0.1849%-0.1755%)/(0.1849%) = 5% of steamdeck users are using windows.

Makes a lot of sense. Despite everything going against it and how new it is, people already prefer to stick to SteamOS over installing Windows.

Makes sense, maybe a little higher on PS than usual.

What percentage of Steam users actually buy games at full price?
I don't know, but on average the majority of copies sold of a game on Steam are sold discounted.

How can pc be a main platform for AAA games? That’s about as absurd as a treadmill at a body positivity meeting.
Not for this game, but for Capcom PC is around half of their company's worldwide game sales.

probably true of most games tbf... but there's a reason that steam sales used to be legendary (even if they've become pedestrian af the last few years)

Well, obviously sales depends on the game and also if the game/series/company is more popular in console or in PC.

In addition to this, we have to consider that the publisher (or dev if selfpublished) sees somewhere between 40-50% of what the player pays for a game and that games usually get discounted more frequently and more aggresively on Steam, and that around half or more of the Steam copies sold are discounting. Meaning, a game may have many units sold but in many cases they see little money from each one.

That wasn't even true at the time
The end of the article is specially hilarious:

Further than that they need to solidify the console as the lead platform so that the Xbox Series X can’t gain perceivable third party design advantages with its superior CPU. But given the strong link Microsoft has made with the PC market for the next generation this will be tougher than ever for Sony to achieve. The next generation will certainly be a battle to behold.

LMAO

Stuff aged badly, didn’t they?


It was weird to see people talk about MS hype and how genial there were shifting wafers from Series X to Series S production.

And I locked at sales data and PS5 was always beating them being heavy supply coinstrained.
Reading Xbox fans post you had the impression that Series production was higher than PS5 :D
