Some estimates using reservation numbers, average waiting time and % of cancellations had a ballpark figure of 1 million around last October. Some websites are now quoting 3 million by now, although I don't know how they came to that number, but if the 1M figure of Oct2022 is realistic (I believe it is), then 3M by now does feel reasonable too.

Right, I don't know if those websites have accurate sources for those figures and I would need a direct verifiable source for them to prove those figures.

Given we both don't know about how they derived those figures I can only see this as a pure speculation and I'm afraid that I would have to unfortunately dismiss those guesses and estimations, unless they have verified sources. Even better if it is directly from Steam themselves.

Genuine questions don't come with preconceived conclusions in bad faith.

Your tone, the word actually and your final quip about them "being scared" says it all.

Question now is, what's your deal? Invested in a narrative where Steam Deck isn't a success?

Asking a question with another question without answering mine directly isn't a good way to start a conversation.

It's really a genuine question since it is true that Steam doesn't reveal their Steam Deck sales and figures on this, yet we are already assuming it is a 'success' without benchmarking their performance against the existing generation of gaming consoles.

Assuming you have the figures, do you know what they are and how it compares to the current generation of games consoles on the market?
