But this isn't the first Steam Controller, is it? The first one (and also the first Steam Machine) was released on 2015.

    I can't find a reference to first - where did you see it?

    You're right, of course. I still love my Steam Controller (and Steam Link) after all this time.

    There's no prefix in this second one, so it implies it is the first.

    I don't think that's how it works. The Xbox One wasn't the first Xbox, DOOM didn't get a number for its reboot, etc etc.

    But you are right that it's the second one!

    One is a valid prefix (and Microsoft has a weird numbering).

    Steam Machine is then an update to the original Steam Machine...

    Not sure if you're being obstreperous or not...

    First, these are suffixes not prefixes. Second, this isn't unusual.

    Xbox Series X was updated in 2024 with no update to show it was the second Xbox Series X.

    MacBooks and iPads aren't released with suffixes.

    Amazon have released how many Echos by now?

    This isn't some weird conspiracy...
