Chiaki doesn't have haptic feedback like Portal does which is the most important feature outside of streaming quality.

This is the first iteration of the portal. It's only going to get better.

Once again this device is useless for Ps5 users.

I'm talking Chiaki 4 Deck, not regular Chiaki.

It has support for haptics, and extras like gyro aiming and 4 back buttons. Its Chiaki specifically tailored to utilize all the Steam Deck features and provide convenience with ease of use. The only thing missing is the adaptive triggers, but you could always just use a Dual Sense / Edge via Bluetooth.

I don't think you can sincerely say it's useless for PS5 users, but you can argue this is something not for everyone (i.e. only for power users).

Those are the numbers a new console IP will do. It's only going to grow from there unless Valve abandon it.

Also, the handheld PC market is cannibalize itself with so many products. Even SteamDeck was like 3 years late at that.

Grow? It tanked by 50% last year.

And let’s not act like steam is an exclusive site when there’s 40m people using it at the same time.

Valve announced three new devices today: Steam Frame, the new Steam Machine, and the new Steam Controller. But where's the Steam Deck 2?

That's a question we put to Valve software engineer Pierre-Loup Griffais in a new interview at the company's office ahead of today's big reveal. He replied to explain that Valve does indeed plan to release an upgraded version of its handheld at some point, but it's waiting for the technology that would let it make a big enough performance jump to justify its existence while maintaining a reasonable battery life.

"Obviously the Steam Deck's not our focus today, but the same things we've said in the past where we're really interested to work on what's next for Steam Deck… the thing we're making sure of is that it's a worthwhile enough performance upgrade to make sense as a standalone product," Griffais explained.
"We're not interested in getting to a point where it's 20 or 30 or even 50% more performance at the same battery life. We want something a little bit more demarcated than that. So we've been working back from silicon advancements and architectural improvements, and I think we have a pretty good idea of what the next version of Steam Deck is going to be, but right now there's no offerings in that landscape, in the SoC [System on a Chip] landscape, that we think would truly be a next-gen performance Steam Deck."
