  I wish, the first one still stands as the best controller imo but it still has so much that can be improved (USB C, dual thumbsticks and trackpads, two back paddles, improved haptics, better gyro, better ergonomics, etc).

    I want them to launch a Deck v2, Controller v2, and a new take on the Steam Machine simultaneously with a goal of knocking Xbox out of the market and replacing them as the third console. A new Steam Machine right now would play all of Xbox’s exclusives on day one and some of Sony’s.

      I bet my right testicle that the very reason Sony and others have started bringing console ports to steam, is that steam has promised not to compete in the same space. Or something like that. Otherwise that’s just something that’ll probably happen if they do enter the market again.

      Then again, Steam Deck is a little bit in that direction. So perhaps not.

        I think Sony wants out of the physical console market. They just don’t know how to do it. The consoles are sold at a loss, but the games sales are massive returns on investments.

        If they can double their sales by releasing on steam at the cost of 30% per sale, they still come out ahead, and can save all the R&D cost on developing a physical console, plus the loss from each individual console sale.
