It is likely that if you have a Steam Deck you will be very satisfied for many reasons. Valve's machine is being a complete success and one of its most problematic aspects has been completely improved: the stock. Although the laptop's battery lasts less than many would like, it has a large catalog of compatible games whose number exceeds 8,000 titles.

You're probably wondering how Steam Deck sales are doing, but Valve hasn't revealed the data yet. However, the GamesIndustry medium has echoed what a company specialized in technology and research has pointed out. Omdia has pointed out that throughout 2022 Steam Deck has managed to sell 1.6 million units. However, it considers that throughout 2023 it could even exceed 3 million.

James McWhirter, Lead Analyst at Omdia, explained that Steam Deck is targeted for a niche player: "It's clear that Steam Deck remains a niche player in the PC gaming landscape. However, this is unlikely to deter players. Valve, which has plans beyond the mere sale of hardware units," he says. He also says that sales are limited by its zero retail presence because it can only be purchased through the website, which is a clear disadvantage when it comes to aspiring to more units sold.

One of the best features of Steam Deck is its extensive support based on updates. One of the last ones added ray tracing, although it only went to Doom Eternal. On the other hand, we must not forget that the developers are talking about an OLED Steam Deck, but they point out that its implementation is not easy at all.
