I think it unlikely that the deck will get cancelled as a product. The Steam Controller was a commercial failure, interesting as it was technically. But Valve can't make the deck fast enough, they've got a months-long waiting list. I think they've got a hit on their hands, at least if they can catch up with demand. I also suspect the platform will find lots of uses other than gaming. It's just a really handy form factor, with lots of controls. Not that this does Valve any favors -- as the article says, there's likely little margin in the hardware.
