I’d say updating the deck every year may hurt sales too, because why buy the deck now when you know a new, better one is only 6 months away?
And it's easier to certify that a game works as expected when there aren't too many hardware revisions.
I don't think it would hurt sales, exactly, but I doubt it would be cost-effective to keep redoing them. People would still buy, but like you said, some people might wait, and that means the old ones go unsold, meaning Valve can't recoup that investment.
I mean, Valve has more money than they know what to do with, but I imagine they'd like to keep it that way.
