How big is the handheld PC gaming industry?

This article includes sales estimates for different handhelds from market research firm IDC.

They place total handheld PC sales of the Steam Deck, RoG Ally, Lenovo Legion Go, and MSI Claw at almost 6 million units for the past 3 years. It’s estimated that the Steam Deck makes up between 3.7 to 4 million of those sales, more than all the other major handheld PC manufacturers combined.

    I agree, but I think Valve has said a Steam Deck 2 isn’t coming anytime soon. I was wanting to hold out for an announcement, but I might just go ahead and pull the trigger.

      I’m curious about the Go 2. Huge OLED screen… I know it’s not supposed to come out for a minute, but it’s tempting.

      The ergonomics put me off of the first Go, it was not comfy to hold when I tried the display model. But I think they’re addressing that. We’ll have to see how it goes.
