I think it will bring Valve to dominating the console market in their class, a concept that you should be well familiar with, given your clear explanations of how like things should be compared.
Will it outsell the Ps5? Probably not on release, no. Will it be better than the Ps5? Probably, if only because it has broader flexibility.
Will the Steam Box outsell the Atari VCS, Evercade, and Polymega? Almost certainly, but hey, I’m only trying to compare like to like.
Will the Steam Frame outsell the Meta Quest 3 and the HTC XR and Vive Focus? It definitely has the potential to be super competitive if not on top.
Will the Steam Controller be the dominate PC-Console type controller? Maybe, the memory of the Old Steam controller is going to die hard and slowly.
Not in it’s actual class, no. It’s going to be far more powerful and useful than the VCS, Evercade, and Polymega. With a fairly low count to compete against looking at Steam Deck sales.
Against the Console giants? Maybe, but it entirely depends on markets and like products. Something you have been so keen to point out. That said, it will absolutely have more computing flexibility than any of the big console makers, it’s the only one compliant out of the gate with the EU Rights and Cybersecurity Resilience acts. Moreover given that there are There are 135 million Monthly users of the Steam services, 123 million on Playstation Network, it’s going to prove that a consumer console company with more users than the Playstation Network has the ability to comply with these regulations.
In at least that metric they’re already doing better than Playstation is. So, I’d say too early to call definitively, however not too early to say it’s going to do better in at least several metrics.
So do you think that it’s a guarantee that the new Steam product will dominate the console system and do more sales than the Ps5, for example?

So, do you think it is a guarantee that valve is going to “win a console generation” with this specific unreleased product?
Or do you think perhaps it is too soon to be making that kind of statement?
