Last month, November, was a shockingly terrible month for video game sales in the U.S. While we traditionally think of November as a huge sales month what with Black Friday and all, November 2025 was the worst November in video game hardware unit sales, and the worst in physical software dollar sales the U.S. has seen since 1995.
And more significantly, the Switch 2 is for kids. There’s no sizable youth market for the Steam Deck.
But out of all the handheld PCs, the Steam Deck is #1, so that should give you some idea about the sales on the others. 😉
