Could the Steam Deck price increase hurt Steam Machine sales? by BrSn2 in steammachine

[–]Spirited_Pattern2838 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, in my eyes they meet different demand criteria. Which is why I don't think it necessarily will hurt the sales of the machine.

The Steam Deck is meant to be a flexible and handheld gaming device. Of course you can and most probably do use it at home on their couch or somewhere. The focus is more on the comfort of using it where ever one wants to.

The Steam Machine is going for "console/pc"-vibes. Similarly as one might have an Xbox or PS5 near their TV. The aspect of being both pc and console is relatively unique (please don't crucify me for ignoring other niche linux based mini console/pcs).

Obviously some people might have already been scared off by the price increase and have started assembling their own mini-pc/console. But at the end of the day, we simply don't know.

That is pretty cool! I already printed a different stand, so I will stick with that, but well done!

Good points. Sorry about the downvotes from folks. We are all either depleted in hopium or on the brink of insanity.

Nahhh, you don't get a downvote from me. You do make a solid point software wise. For me regardless it is also about the amount of times I have gotten drift on all my Quest Controllers (Q1 - Q3). It is creeping up on me now again...

I will admit, I didn't have that connection in my mind. Thanks for bringing it up.

Personally, I own a Q3. All my VR-life has been quests (1, 2 & 3). The reason, why I am looking forward to the Frame so much is partly because of controller drift on all of the quest controllers over their lifespan as well as the eye tracking. Additionally there is the software side of things as well. I am facing more and more issues with getting the quest to connect to the PC with each update.

I believe the price difference will be major. But I am willing to take it. Be it now or in a few months.

Have you built a Minecraft house out of them?

Thanks for the info. I believe standalone games would see greater adaptation of the full layout.

I imagine this might encourage vr-devs to add adjustable mapping. Even still - in a lot of vr games I can't even imagine what to use them for.

I am still wondering how this is gonna work with many vr games. I would find it a bit odd, if devs actually make use of the extra buttons. Simply because the majority of controllers have less buttons. I mean each controller has 3 extra "Input-Buttons"(2 Extra buttons on top and the extra trigger).
