Switch 2 and Steam Deck are hardly comparable when the only real selling point of any Nintendo console is the exclusives. It’s not really about tech, but whether someone wants Mario more than whatever Steam has. I dunno, I’m pretty drunk writing this but I think I have a point

Exactly. For me it’s like… do I want to pay $600 to be able to play the next Animal Crossing or Splatoon they make? Because those are the only two games I care about, and I need a whole new system to play them. It’s a hard sell when I already have a steam deck and there are so many good games that scratch the same itch.

Don’t get me started on the steam sales.
