Article doesn’t say how many units they’ve sold. Sentiment in my internet bubble was very negative about price, that it was DOA. Now valve say it’s a success.
At the same time they sold every single unit they have been able to manufacture so far and have pre-sold all of the units they expect to be able to manufacture until next year, so yeah, I would call that a success.
Those people were delusional. I have no need for a Stream Machine, nor the spare funds. But I still knew it would sell just fine because the market is absolutely fucked.
It’s a success because they got all the tech YouTubers to talk about steam OS and encouraging people to build their own for cheaper or better specs. All this helps valve gain new users which is where they make most of their profit not from hardware.

Well, if you order today, it’s not getting delivered this year.
They are selling every single one they can get in stock. Which means the demand is there.
If you could already get one shipped next day, then the sales numbers would matter.

Gamersnexus did a whole video on this and the valve tax is 76$. So basically nothing.
