Valve is seemingly sitting on 20,000 Steam Machine units, so I'd be stumped if availability is an issue

Hand pressing Steam Machine power button on desk.

Valve still hasn't revealed a Steam Machine release date, but it apparently just ordered 50 tons of "game console". That's a lot of game consoles, and it'd be ludicrous if the shipment didn't contain the shiny new mini PC, but there's still a chance we're looking at a simple Steam Deck OLED restock rather than "20,000" Steam Machines.

In a post highlighting the supposed Steam Machine shipping manifest, hardware analyst Brad Lynch points out over 50 tons of imports across two days. Again, the product listed is "game console", which is delightfully vague, but unless Gabe Newell has decided to treat himself to a boat-load of retro handhelds from China, we're very likely looking at the first batch of Valve's newcomer.
