Why? I mean, why took it that long? With some consoles in the past I understood that the whole marketing, localization, availability of games, production capacities etc. led to different release dates in Japan, the US and Europe. But 2+ years to bring the Deck to Australia?

Hi from Switzerland, where no valve hardware was ever sold despite being available in every single adjacent country. If they don't expect the profits to outweigh the hassle by a factor 10, they just don't care.

... and a big F you to NZ.
I keep thinking they might say "oh yea NZ too, we didn't think it was worth mentioning", but that hope is fading.
