So, as the title suggest, considering how Sony are porting everything to PC, i mean not everything for now, but they will reach that sooner or later, as Jimbo and Hermen already have opened the Pandora box, do you think if somehow Steamdeck sales will become too important and may even get closer to PS5 consoles sales or even surpasses tho, then finally Sony will start realizing that PC ports are a mistake and they will fire both Jimb and hermen?

A niche $400+ handheld outselling the PS5?

 

[Abriael_GN]

Does not compute.

You seem to base your opinion on the idea that PC ports are a mistake, which Sony should realize. Considering that said idea is objectively wrong (Sony is selling every console they're manufacturing, and PC ports are an additional revenue stream), I'm not sure what point you're trying to make.

Let's hope so

The people that will buy a PS5 for those ps5 exclusive already brough it years ago, if someone waited 4 years to buy a PC port at full price, the chance is they will never buy a ps5 to begin with.

 

[Interfectum]

Is there even a remote chance of this happening? What prompted this thread?

 

[CS Lurker]

I would be really surprised if deck ended selling as much as the ps vita in 4 or 5 years.

The real question is if Steam Deck outsells the GDP of China, will Valve and China fight over Taiwan?

 

[Ezekiel_]

I mean, it's so extremely unlikely because it's a very niche product, that IF it happens, I'm sure a whole bunch of gaming companies will need to reevaluate their strategy.

PS5 at 20 million +
Did Steam deck pass 1 million?

 

[ManaByte]

If Steam Deck outsells the Switch will NCL order a Yakuza hit on Gaben?

 

[It's all in the wrist]

Why the steam deck specifically? That thing is just a PC in a different form factor.

I'm not sure I want an all PC world. I like the quirks of the Xbox, PS4, and whatever Nintendo thinks up, and PC gaming is a pain in the ass for me as it exists currently. Ports are fine.

 

[DenchDeckard]

What? The steam deck will be lucky to do half of rhe ps5s lifetime sales.

It would be practically impossible for it to outsell the ps5. It would need to be available worldwide from multiple retailers.

 

[RayHell]

If Oculus Quest come close to Switch sales do you thing Mario will die from meth addiction ?

 

[MadPanda]

My God, what's wrong with you people?

One's success doesn't equate to another's demise.

 

[Thaedolus]

Gaming forum is on fucking fire today lmfao

 

[GHound]

Steam Deck outsell PS5? Restructuring of management at PlayStation as a direct result? Sounds like an absolutely batshit timeline and I wonder what other crazy stuff would be going on in it.

But just imagine if all success was hoarded by SteamDeck. The global economy would collapse and Valve would rule the world unopposed since they're not listed on the stock market. It would basically be the end of democracy as we know it. And we know Valve uses a flat development structure where everyone moves their desks around. AKA: Global communism.

Absolutely not. They will be publicly executed to thunderous applause.

And then finally, FINALLY..............there will be peace.
