Switch 2 proceeds to outsell the deck by a factor of 50

[–] [email protected] 23 points 2 months ago

Steam is clearly playing the long game with Steam Deck and Steam OS, they're basically trying to slowly normalize portable gaming pcs. If they achieve this Nintendo will not be just facing competition from Steam Deck but from multiple devices from the likes of Asus, Lenovo, Dell (Alienware).

Absolutely. Nintendo has huge fanbase with most of them not caring about Nintendo ripping them off and Nintendo has some of the most highly regarded and iconic gaming IPs in the world and Nintendo has insane marketing budget behind the Switch 2 and the switch doubles as a home console.

I love the Deck but it's not going to outsell the Switch and I think Valve isn't interested in pulling people away from the Switch. Valve made the Deck primarily for Steam users and that's who they're targeting.

Even PS Portal sales is not that far from Deck. You know, the handheld that people said won't sell

Haha. Not in the US, thank you Mr. Trump very much.
