Valve recently raised the price on the Steam Deck, making the handheld gaming PC cost up to $949 for the 1TB OLED model. While that’s a massive $300 increase over its original price, the Steam Deck is once again sold out.

      That is ok for NVidia, they don’t really want to sell to end users anymore. AI datacenters give way higher margins

        When that falls through (and it will), they’ll try to come crawling back to retail.

        Don’t let them.

          The broader a customer base, the less solidarity there is.

          Nvidia has shit on consumer goodwill in the past, they never get punished for it.

            If the other manufacturers had any sense whatsoever, they’d be using this opportunity to take over Nvidia’s market share. Leave them no space to come back to once the bottom falls out on AI datacenters.
