It’s easy to dominate when you were only one in the market for so long time.

They're not, though. There's quite a few other offerings in this space, and the Steam Deck appears to outsell all of them combined.

Use a competitor like the ASUS ROG for 30 minutes and you’ll understand why the SteamDeck is king.

Handheld PCs have been on the market for 20 years. Comparable to steam deck (x86_64) at least since 2016 GPD Win
