I believe the estimated numbers are closer to 3.7m but I don't have a reliable source on this. I think some people on /v/ ran some total revenue numbers and did some math to derive that number.
Ah, so they sold a few million units.
Are you telling me they sold multiple millions of the Steam Deck??????
Yes, that's what they said.
Multiple: consisting of, including, or involving more than one.
Yes, and that is what gave me pause, it seemed too generic to be a coincidence, meaning that I read it as they only had sold 2 millions.
I had it pegged a little lower than what they got. I figured just upwards of three million.
Two is too small, and saying 'multiple' seems like it's just sensational BS. Anything 5 and over, and they'd want to more clearly specify just how many millions they had sold. That leaves 3 and 4, but four would probably get a 'nearly five million'. That leaves three as the most likely, with four a small possibility. I figured 3.2-3.3 mil.
