Have you ever purchased a console at launch? There are always minor issues like the ones described here.

    I have. They never had all of these issues in the article (those are not minor). If they did I’d return them because they obviously were malfunctioning.

    Same question: Have you?

    Of course, I haven't had any of the issues described in the article. Sleep mode works fine with the games I've been playing. In fact the steam machine wakes up in a working state more often than my apple TV.

    This is fun, it looks like Xbox series x had basically the resume game issues at launch:

    And ps5 was not without problems too:

    You ever heard of the red ring of death? And that was a hardware issue, not a software issue that can be patched.

    Yeah, console had to be reissued. Way to prove my point about the backlash.

    Now, same energy towards your overpriced Steam Deck that can barely hit 1080p and has basic functions fail.

    No?
