Quoting: mr-victoryI feel that the GabeCube *ahem* Steam Machine will be DOA due to anti cheat, I hope to be proven wrong but Windows on ARM laptops being frequently returned item on Amazon doesn't give me confidence, those laptops' game compatibility issues are not that different from ours... the advantage Deck had was being a handheld so who cares if an fps doesn't work.

If the Deck wasn't DOA because of anti-cheat, why would the cube be?

That just makes no sense. Will it be a bit limited? Sure. Will there still be tons of people who don't care about games like Battlefield? Clearly the answer is yes.

It's not expected to sell 50 million units, even 5 is a . . . huge success.

I'm not sure they're right, but I do see their point: People expect different things and play different games on a handheld.

When I buy a handheld, I expect the handheld games to work (like on Switch). And I wouldn't want to play FPS on it. On a box on the other hand, on a "real PC", I'd expect "every game" to work.

Yeah, and I should have been clearer, but when I said "Clearly the answer is yes" I really meant when you combine the Deck with this data in this article, the ridiculous growth of the desktop, it just doesn't make sense.

The Cube will most certainly sell pretty well, inline with the deck at least. To think it's "DOA" given all those things, just seems like a crazy stretch. No, it isn't going to outsell the PS5. Yes, it will outsell the original Steam Machines many times over.
