Steam Deck sales drop hard following the Nintendo Switch 2 announcement
Valve's Steam Deck with SteamOS has been consistently in the top sales charts on Steam since release, but recently it dropped down rather hard following the Nintendo Switch 2 announcement.
You're viewing a single thread.
Did steam deck sales actually drop, as in the number of sold units went down? Or did the Steam Deck's relative ranking on some leaderboard drop to a lower ranking?
Its ranking has dropped by 44 spots on Steam's top sellers list. Unless the sales numbers of everything else have shot up significantly, that implies that sales of the Steam Deck have gone down. I don't know how significant it is because I don't know how the rankings are done, but it's a pretty big drop for a 2-week period.
Ah, yeah okay. I forgot that Valve the privately held company doesn't have to break out any numbers.
It would be nice if we could see that kind of information
