I love my Steam Deck, as any regular reader will know. It's my favourite gaming device but it could always be better right? And with competition hot (hi Nintendo), I hope Valve have more plans.

    The key thing here is Nintendo now needs to compete with Valve

    Valve don’t have to give a shit about Nintendo though as the steam deck is not essential to their main product

    This is an interesting shift in the dynamic where Nintendo often are the ones that don’t need to compete with anyone

    Why? Steam Deck OLED is already amazing and probably 4 times as powerful and infinitely as flexible with what youre allowed to do with it as Switch 2 will be.

    I have been wanting a steam deck but can’t justify it yet having a Switch already. I am seriously considering skipping Switch 2 and going for 2nd gen Steam Deck instead.

      Honestly just buy a used one for cheap and swap the ssd out for a bigger version if need be (cheap as in 300ish, I realize that may not be cheap for some). The hardwareswap sub reddit is pretty great for getting steam decks.
