- Valve estimates weekly Steam Machine sales at 12k to 15k units using revenue data from Steam's Global Top Sellers chart.
- The chart ranks products by revenue, not units, allowing high-priced hardware like the Steam Machine to achieve high rankings with fewer sales.
- Steam Machine revenue is bounded by CS2's ceiling (~$19-20M/week) and viral software floor (~$7-9M/week) for the #2 position.
- With two configurations averaging $1,150 per unit, estimated weekly revenue of $10M-$18M translates to 8,700-15,600 units sold.
- Sales figures reflect a niche, premium device, not mass-market success, with potential for decline post-launch due to price elasticity and competition.
