Nintendo, Microsoft, and Sony have long been dubbed the "big 3" of gaming. After CES 2025, Valve now sits at the head of that table.

    As nice as the narrative is, the sales numbers would beg to differ. Steam deck, for example, can’t touch Switch’s numbers, and even if you combined all windows handhelds it would still be a tiny fraction.

      I wouldn’t expect a 2 year old product to outsell a 7 year old one that quickly, anyway.

        No, but their peak sales rates are massively different too.

        I wouldn’t expect the steam deck to continue to sell for 7 years in a single iteration.
