It's a no-brainer, really. All Steam Decks have been out of stock for literal months here in Europe. It's clear they can't deliver much more at the moment given the current hardware prices. Might as well develop something beefier before putting even more overpriced RAM and storage space into the old Steam Deck for much longer. It will be years until the Steam Deck 2 will release anyway.
