Thoughts about the new Steam Deck?

It does. Gabe Newell stated as such in a direct question.

Well looks like I'll be putting in my pre-order - and my son will be "getting" a Steam Deck for Christmas (he'll get more use out of it than a Switch). I know the loophole to use with the wife for new toys lol.

I think maybe the first rounds of Steam Decks will ship in December, but most people will get theirs next year. Maybe if you mean Christmas of 2022, that's a more likely time frame.
Think of it like a keyboard group buy.

when i put my pre-order the ETA was 02/2022 to get it by December you needed to put your pre-order 1st day, it kinda sold like hot cakes from what i understood.

Based on a thread I was following (with dozens posting their order ETAs) only those who ordered within the first few minutes didn't have the 2022/23 ETA. Reminded me of the Ampere launch last year.
All these increasingly crazy purchase windows for different products. I've seen literal seconds windows for some limited batch products where a year ago for the same product it was said to be a lot more casual (and this wasn't even something that had any electronics in it). People recommending having instant payment setup before even considering such orders.
