This is in addition to the other 50 T of “game consoles” imported in the last couple months that did not result in restocking of Steam Deck.
That’s somewhere between 10k-30k units. The steam controller at launch had about 15k-30k units that sold out in 30 min, but it was at least 5-10x cheaper than Steam Frame/Machine will be, so perhaps the window to buy right at launch will be a bit longer if they go live with current volumes.



i wonder if the frame would also be declared as ‘game console’ or if all of those are steam machines
An article I read on The Verge earlier indicated it could be the Steam Frame
Don’t you go getting my hopes up…
Steam deck too
Can’t see any reason it wouldn’t be. Valve said it’s a “streaming-first” device but it can also run games locally, a la Meta Quest.
