The full quote is

We’re not going to do a bump every year. There’s no reason to do that. And, honestly, from our perspective, that’s kind of not really fair to your customers to come out with something so soon that’s only incrementally better. So we really do want to wait for a generational leap in compute without sacrificing battery life before we ship the real second generation of Steam Deck. But it is something that we’re excited about and we’re working on.

The key to understanding this quote is realizing that they aren't talking about "years" from the OLED release, but the original hardware release, as the performance is identical. The original hardware is 3 years old already (the deck was delayed by software issues, but the hardware was already piling up in warehouses 3 years ago). Thus this statement is simply stating what we already know (and saw with our own eyes) - it is not a guarantee that we won't see a Deck 2 announcement tomorrow.

the controllers look exactly like the $250 controllers, not some imaginary thin in between products.

Quest 2 controllers cost $70 and Quest Pro controllers (which have their own tracking, just like this) cost $250. Considering $250 is the "early bird" price for Vision controllers and the retail price will be $370, it's not "cheap" in any way.

lol, more like decreasing it to 500-600€.

The Index could be a pretty good choice if they adjusted the price to reflect 2024 reality.

they are selling quest controllers for $250?

nothing worthwhile, as it's not allowed (for a good reason)

I absolutely agree that card companies charge fees which are bad for the consumers, however the actual fee is a lot lower than that, in my country it's 0,8-0,9%.

I pay 50 cents a month for my account and debit card. the only additional fees are when changing currency, which happens when you change cash into different currency too. so what's the problem?
