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’ve yet to see another handheld that has touchpads like the Deck. IMO those are a must-have because a lot of older games especially don’t have good controller support.
