This article includes sales estimates for different handhelds from market research firm IDC.
They place total handheld PC sales of the Steam Deck, RoG Ally, Lenovo Legion Go, and MSI Claw at almost 6 million units for the past 3 years. It’s estimated that the Steam Deck makes up between 3.7 to 4 million of those sales, more than all the other major handheld PC manufacturers combined.
“renewed emphasis on controller support”
Eh… I’ve been gaming with a controller on my PC for a very very long time without any issues…
Well if you don’t have any issues, no one else must either…
What I meant is that there hasn’t been more emphasis on controller support since the Deck released, games release on consoles and PC so they already support controllers and games that don’t are just made easier to play with the track pads on the Deck, they’re still just as shit to play on a regular controller.
