Not exactly a surprise but still great to see for Steam Deck fans for the ongoing support from Valve, as the Steam Deck is now firmly the global top seller on Steam once again.
This is really a bizarre metric, isn’t it? It’s a “global top seller” among what? Steam software. Other handheld PCs aren’t in that market. The only electronics available to buy from the Steam store are Valve electronics. What’s the point of listing the Steam Deck among Steam games as a sales figure, and caring about that value?
Show a statistic that weighs the sales of the Steam Deck against other handheld PCs in the same market, or even other mini PCs or prebuilts, and it will be an interesting statistic. Currently this statistic doesn’t make sense.
