They sell their hardware at a loss?

Also, that's not necessarily because they put the consumers' needs advice above anything else. Sony and Microsoft do this all the time simply for market share.

    Not at a loss. We still don't know the prices of the new wave of hardware, but some Valve spokesperson has said that they wouldn't subsidize the price of the hardware with future game sales. They've also said, when the Steam Deck was launched, that affordability was a massive factor in the design, and that some of the decisions to make that happen were "painful".
