From the linked patch notes:

  • Reduced polling rate while the Steam Frame Limiter is active to save additional power. This can save up to 6% on battery life when running at 30fps in a low-power game like HL2

      This is even better, because they dont have to make a new one. Which would cause a mass exodus because every person that already have one will want to buy a new one.

        From a business standpoint, wouldn’t that be better for valve? Wouldn’t they make more money?

          yes, in the short term. but improving a new console instead of the old one would be worse for us.

          so no.
