The first console I ever bought, it was hyped as a threat to the PlayStation, then mocked as a flop. But now, as it marks its 25th anniversary, it’s looked back on with misty-eyed reverence
You can buy seven switch games and a subscription to break even. I wouldn’t call that substantial. There’s a ton of really good free to play games and even more sub $20 games on deck. Not including the thousands you have access to with emudeck, including Wii game’s.
In the end, play what you like. I’ll die on my hill.
But like, you’re on that hill surrounded by no combatants? Nobody, myself included, is arguing that the Steam Deck isn’t a good system, or even better than the Switch.
The Steam Deck being good doesn’t make the Switch bad? This isn’t a binary in any conceivable way.
And for all the reasons stated, I disagree, and I do not believe you have made a compelling argument for your case. You have argued why the Steam Deck is better while blatantly ignoring crucial differences as if they should be compared as like. And beyond the comparison you have made no valid arguments against the Switch.
So yes, the Steak Deck is a great console, we both agree on that since that seems to be the only statement you’re actually making here.
Maybe this will help:
It’s like you said there hasn’t been any good music since the 80s, and I said Turnstile is a great band actually, and you replied with “Led Zeppelin is better.”
Maybe they are! But that says nothing about whether Turnstile is or is not good.

I said the Wii was the last good console. They could have done so much better than they did with the switch.
