The lacking international support with Valve hardware limits market spread like most consoles. Plus they’ll probably not really advertise outside of Steam store and these initial YouTube videos/Influencer releases.
Valve kinda hamstrings their own full potential despite doing so well already.
It’s pretty much only available in US, EU, Australia and a few Asian countries (Japan, S. Korea). I can’t even buy one officially in Switzerland, and I imagine the markups are much higher anywhere in the global south.
