That would make it very interesting. Do we know the cpu on the thing? What sort of emu’s can it run?
Qualcomm Snapdragon 662
PS1, PSP and PS2 emulation are well within it’s capabilities.
It’s an OK Chipset.

I have no idea, but nowadays emulation is very powerful -even in Android- and runs great even in super weak stuff like a Raspberry Pi.That would make it very interesting. Do we know the cpu on the thing? What sort of emu’s can it run?

Snapdragon 662 is probably close to a hundred times faster than a ps2Ps2 full framerate?

Abysmal is harsh lol, the steam deck selling 2-3 million is pretty good for what it is. It's a niche device, not a psp/switch competitor at all and those metrics of success shouldn't be applied to the DeckIt doesn’t need too many.
Steam Dexk sales are abysmal.
3M as of late Spring 2023Did valve ever release the sales numbers for the steam deck?
I'd say you can pretty likely emulate up to PS2, PSP, Dreamcast/Naomi, N64 stuff at full framerate. Not sure about more modern/harder to emulate stuff.Ps2 full framerate?

Yes, forget PS3. I was thinking instead on stuff like maybe GameCube, Saturn or OG Xbox. Which often get more issues to be properly emulated and require more powerful stuff. Pretty likely these platforms -or at least their most demanding game- wouldn't run there at full performance.Doubtful anything above PS2 gen is doable.
Then again even Steamdeck struggles with PS3.
Yes, ignore PS3. I was thinking instead on stuff like maybe GameCube or DS.
They said "multiple millions" some weeks ago but a month early it was at 2 million.Did valve ever release the sales numbers for the steam deck?
They never said 3 million.3M as of late Spring 2023
These are excuses for low salesAbysmal is harsh lol, the steam deck selling 2-3 million is pretty good for what it is. It's a niche device, not a psp/switch competitor at all and those metrics of success shouldn't be applied to the Deck
Coomer said Valve isn't ready to reveal Steam Deck sales numbers, but it's successful enough for Valve to expand its business as a hardware developer.
Honestly I have one and I like it.These are excuses for low sales
And still PCMR keep claiming they have the biggest gaming userbase in the world lol
I think these devices great.Honestly I have one and I like it.
There is a shit ton of flaws with the device so I can definitely see why there is only a small userbase who are interested in buying a handheld to play PC games. 1h of battery is just too funny.
I mean with ARM they have to make a compatibility layer to run x86 games. Even Apple couldn't pull that off perfectly. That was a lot of R&D budget put into Rossetta 2, probably more than market cap of Valve.I think these devices great.
It is basically what you can have in a portable way with a near acceptable form factor (Steam Deck is still a bit bigger than a normal portable form).
I think the battery is related with going AMD APU and the size.
Maybe if they had choose ARM that issue should be solved.
For exemple if any of these companies do a similar Apple M1 APU for a portable device then you will get a winner in size and battery.
That I believe was a lack of vision from Valve... they should had made SteamOS ARM based.
I meant more when they started to work on SteamOS.I mean with ARM they have to make a compatibility layer to run x86 games. Even Apple couldn't pull that off perfectly. That was a lot of R&D budget put into Rossetta 2, probably more than market cap of Valve.
Also they have to find a vendor.
Who offer good SoC with ARM CPU and great GPU? There is one and that mf is really annoying to deal with.
