Valve has an incredible product on their hands, with the OLED model surely they will sell millions more. In a few years when a steam deck 2 comes out it will be an instant purchase for me. Valve hit a new stride with the deck.

Out of interest, do you own a steam deck already?

And if not, why are you so confident you'll buy the theoretical future "steam deck 2" instead of buying this current OLED gen?

I currently own a steam deck. I got it in the first batch of deliveries. As far as a tech product goes, I have never consistently used a tech product for this long outside of my desktop. I almost always find myself migrating back to my desktop for everything, except with the steam deck. I actually find myself doing things on my deck instead of my desktop.

When version 2 comes out (or if I can get a sweet deal on the OLED down the road) I will for sure be upgrading without hesitation.
