    Looking at the sales estimates, the numbers appear pretty modest compared to the other gaming devices. They’re probably under 5m units sold since early 2022.

      EA is worth several times that and they don’t have the #1 PC games platform or any hardware

      Valve should at least be in the same ballpark

        Yeah, just saying that most of Valve’s value is probably in their software. Their hardware installed base is pretty small compared to others.
