Do... do people actually prefer the Switch 2 over the Steam Deck? I understand if you have sunken cost fallacy from wasting money on the eSlop, but the Switch 2 has virtually zero merit compared to the open platform that is the Deck. What does this machine offer against a handheld PC?>inb4 donkey kong (aka mario odyssey dlc)>inb4 cripple ball>inb4 10 dollar demo
>>729150075I SWEAR IF I SEE ONE MORE CAT IN THE CATALOG
>>729150075cute cat
>troon colors
>all those exclusives? well you see they don't countUh huh. And what are Steam Deck's exclusives?
>>729150075I don't buy a Switch for the portability and I have enough money to own a PC and whatever Nintendo is doing at the same time.I have no idea what grown adults do with something like the deck where its only use is in portable mode.
>>729150139He's pretty cool though.
>>729150231>deck exclusives...it has nearly every exclusive on avaliable PC. How is this even an argument? If you count emulators it makes the Switch 2 look even more worthless in comparison.>>729150325It's a portable PS4 pro equivalent. You play your backlog on it when you can't be arsed to sit at a desk.
>>729150075Sounds like you have a chip on your shoulder about a system that has sold more than Gabe's handheld. To answer your question, you need to ask people outside of your social bubble. But here goes;* Steam Deck is too expensive * No one outside of Twitter has even heard of the steam deck* The steam deck is a gadget/accessory for PC gamers.* No recognisable games to your average Joe.* Nintendo has brand recognition * Steam deck is unwieldy * Steam deck looks ugly* No one outside Twitter cares about fps, 4k or raytracing.Overall the deck deck was made for big fat lazy American PC gamers whilst the Switch was made for everyone else.
>>729150497>when you can't be arsed to sit at a deskIt takes like a minute to hook a computer up to a tv. I'm too lazy to sit in a chair so I sit on a different chair to play on a much smaller screen?Seems silly.
>>729150616>* Steam Deck is too expensiveIt was 300 bucks multiple times.>* No one outside of Twitter has even heard of the steam deckYet when you ask them about PC handhelds they say "Steam Deck.">* The steam deck is a gadget/accessory for PC gamers.True.>* No recognisable games to your average Joe. It's a PC.>* Nintendo has brand recognition True.>* Steam deck is unwieldy blatant fucking lie by someone who hasn't held one>* Steam deck looks ugly It looks no better than the Switch.>* No one outside Twitter cares about fps, 4k or raytracing. No bought a Steam Deck for that.>Overall the deck was made for big fat lazy American PC gamers whilst the Switch was made for everyone else.The Deck was made for gamers while the Switch was made for casuals who shut down the second they see a menu screen with more than 5 options.
because it's actually made with quality and not cheap plastic shit like the steamdeck

>>729150075DotA 2 on the deck must play like fucking dogshitthat's why I don't have a deckI don't have a switch 2 either, I prefer my 3Ds and my vita
>>729150075>sunkenit's sunk cost fallacy, dimwit
steam deck is uncslop fr fr
>>729150139CATalog.You lost.
I have both. SD is good for older games and emulation. It became an indie and Fallout machine for me very quickly. S2 is great for Switch games, I find the S2 games underwhelming so far although I'm enjoying Metroid. Didn't get Mario Kart
>>729150850>muh hdmi cableI'm not dragging my heavy ass rig downstairs just to play on a TV. I can plug my Steam Deck in and use Apollo instead.
>>729150891>It looks no better than the Switch.nta but I disagree, the Switch is a lot more slim and sleek.It's like comparing a Lenovo Legion to an Alienware laptop. They are both kind of embarassing gaming laptops, but Alienware is just inherently harder to pass off generally.
>>729150139how about a cupcake instead faggot
i hate holding the switch 2 handhelddeck feels good in my hands simple
>>729151320Personally, I only ever to that to play a party game or something with friends.I'm just trying to imagine what I would do if I was someone that "can't be arsed to sit at a desk" for some bizarre reason lol.
>>729150075Simply because people are brandcucks. They dont give a shit about the system, they care about it being from Nintendo. Neither system is great, but around the same performance and both are miles worse than a gaming pc. Switch 2 was frontloaded though and is selling worse than the snoy5 since november, despite both being 400 bucks. No one cares about consoles aside from sunk cost fallacy brandcucks.
>>729150075Played one for the first time on a demo at a store the other day. Felt just like I was playing a Switch. I was gonna say I feel sorry for the people that actually got one, but I can't any more. Anyone still supporting Nintendo deserves whatever baby crap they get.
>>729150075The Steam Decks is for neckbeards, and I neither lack a chin nor own multiple fedoras.
>>729151653the only person I know irl that has one is my early 30's cousin who is obese and only uses it in bed
>>729151521based
I don't use handhelds anymore due to a severe thumb injury on my left handAlso nintendo will no longer get any of my money I refuse
>do people actually prefer spotify over an mp3 library?
>>729150075I have neither, I have a switch and will(maybe) buy a switch 2 when the dust settles. It makes no sense for me to buy a steam deck, I don't have a steam account, I don't like the types of games that are trendy on steam. I like Nintendo games. Plus the deck is too fucking big.>Emulation (on the deck)I would rather walk away form illegal stuff not move into it.And I should be giving companies my money to keep the economy working, I wouldn't like it if I were in this position why would I do it to any body else. Especially when they still offer physical media.>Wuz ceosYeah but they are the last ones falling and they have a golden parachute, you are hurting everyone expect them. The only way to go after them is not piracy it's being an 'luigi' and what about the legality of that?
>800pInto the trash
>>729150497>every exclusive available on PCName ten released in the past few years that aren't better played with M+KB.
>>729150891>The Deck was made for gamers while the Switch was made for casualsNah. Deck is fat, gets hot, fans are loud. Only retards bought the deck or games or steam when piracy exists.
deck is already worthless for newer AAA slop, Valve should focus their hardware efforts on the deck 2 instead of wasting more time and resources on a generic desktop PC and VR
>>729150616You look ugly and yet your mom probably still loves you
>>729156539I don't think we're getting a Deck 2 any time soon with the current RAM pricing. Unless the situation remedies itself within 1 year, the consequences for the pricing of next gen hardware and even current gen hardware are going to be disastrous across the board.
>>729154000Also checked tendies btfoMan I've been getting blessed with digits lately
>>729150231Deck exclusives are you playing every single game on earth, including mouse/keyboard exclusive games with the help of the trackpads and all consoles with emulation (including the switch), in the palm of your hand, on the go and without paying for online subscriptions whilst also being a pc.
>>729150616found the shill
>>729150075Yeah. I don't really give a shit about the Deck being an open platform. I play like a dozen games a year alongside some smaller indies. I'm not at a loss for content or suffering some financial strain in my hobby. The Switch 2 is easier to take with me and requires literally zero tinkering.
