Steam Machine might release sooner than expected – Valve receives massive shipment of "game consoles"
www.t3.com
As the Steam Controller sells out in minutes, Valve could be ready to follow it up with the release we've all been waiting for

This is in addition to the other 50 T of “game consoles” imported in the last couple months that did not result in restocking of Steam Deck.

That’s somewhere between 10k-30k units. The steam controller at launch had about 15k-30k units that sold out in 30 min, but it was at least 5-10x cheaper than Steam Frame/Machine will be, so perhaps the window to buy right at launch will be a bit longer if they go live with current volumes.

      The headline can add 3 characters instead of making everyone guess what the letter T means

        I am kind of mind blown that people are having problems figuring out T means tons…

          Maybe it’s because it’s unusual to measure game consoles in tonnes (in the media) that we look for another explanation.

          And I knew a tonne (1000kg) to be “t”, this capital T is new to me. I just checked wikipedia apparently there’s a fuckton of different tons.
