I don’t get it. 007 has about 60k players so probably just as many sales in the last 24h, and the deck beat that. Who’s buying +60k of it at this price?
Steam’s top charts are by revenue, not volume. In Canada the 512GB OLED Steam Deck costs as much as about 12.5 copies of 007, so it’d take ~4800 Decks to bring in the same revenue as 60k copies of 007.
Ok, but if nobody would want to buy it at 950, I assume they would also not buy it at 1000+ or however much the scalpers will be asking for. Unless they’re counting on it being a collectible or they expect the prices to go much higher.

Scalpers probably.
