It'll be interesting to see how the Steam Machine in January affects this.

It might not be a huge immediate boost. I have friends who want to buy a Steam Machine on day one - but they already use a SteamDeck as their primary gaming rig.

I expect the Steam Machine to catch on the same way the SteamDeck seems to have - word of mouth.

I know I bought my SteamDeck after a friend demoed theirs to me, and it kind of sold itself.
