I agree with everything you said, but I still don’t think that will change the decision of someone on the fence. The Deck is the odd one out.

Don’t get me wrong, I love the Deck and SteamOS and want it to succeed, and expect them to to a certain degree, but I just know the average consumer and they’ll just look at the SteamOS handhelds as a weird knockoff gaming computer.

We all know how special it is because we were the target market. But when all is said and done, it comes down to what people know.

If Valve was advertising like the big guys do, maybe, but with no ad support, not a chance.
