I swear nintendo hardware is so underpowered that if they lost their exclusives the whole company would probably go under.

At the end of the day, It's about preferences, budgets, and individual priorities when buying consoles.

I have both and the steam deck is way better besides switch exclusive multiplayer games

Console wars are stupid AF. Play what you want, how you want to. Screw exclusives, tech specs, game selection. Let people have fun in their own way.

the guy who left that comment literally does not know what a tech comparison is. it is based on the god damn specs

Coming from a person that has the switch OLED and steam deck I like them for different things I like being able to run AAA games and Sony exclusives and handheld mode. Also, I like that I can go to desktop mode and use it as a full on computer when I’m using my dock to switch I like it more for games like crash bandicoot Mario games all the Nintendo exclusives Pokémon and yes, I know they have a Nintendo switch emulator but I had the switch first and I feel like I still want to keep it and I have a ton of games for it so I’m not going to waste my time on emulation plus I like the battery life more on the switch. I understand that the steam deck is a more powerful system and requires more battery usage and that’s fine. I feel like if you have a good enough power pack, you can squeeze out some extra time I feel like they just serve different purposes, and therefore different types of gamers like do you casually want to play god of war for our running 60 FPS or close to it with a decent resolution or do you want to play Zelda breath of the wild for a few hours? They’re both great games, but obviously god of war is going to have better graphics so it’s kind a like pick your poison at that point

I have both, played my switch for about a month, recently got a steam deck and playing my PC games while on break or on the couch is a game changer. Tbh I havent really been playing on my PC since I got it

I have both and the main reason I prefer the Switch is because I can launch a game without a million launcher issues (especially with any ubisoft game). Its also worth noting that the Switch is 5 years older than the Steam Deck and it's arm-based. A more worthy competitor will hopefully come out next year but ill always love the comfort and ease of a console no matter how good my PC is

[NJWebCrawler]

That comment has a point, however it IS fair to compare them since they both aim for a similar goal (handheld gaming with similar controls to console gaming) and the steam deck, whilst being bulkier still delivers better

[snchii]

I have both and I gotta day that yes the steam deck does look better and can process things better however the button layout on the steam deck does feel a bit weird with how high the joysticks are and it's a bit tough to use the bumpers with souls games on the deck but the biggest thing that makes it a bit easier to use the switch is the battery life.
If I wanna maximize the battery life to add a extra half hour to a 2 hour battery life you gotta mess with the settings a while bunch to get the best settings, at the same time it is dependent on which game you play since some last only an hour while others last 6 hours

Don’t get that, 3D print it instead!!

[blood_rose_queen]

Honestly, lots of people probably have both because they are just too different

[mony_wildbandana]

I also want it as that red piece is called to avoid drift

[gatokal]

The difference is my steam deck can play all of your switch games; your switch can only play one steam game.

[aceventuraaceventura]

I love my Steam Deck. Nintendo will never port the Zelda and Mario Cart because if they did, they would sell zero Switch.

[crowwing]

I got ‘em both now I can switch between both depending on what games I am trying to play that’s literally my whole gaming setup now the switch and steam deck 😅

[JonTheJotter]

I say why not both? I have both and love both.

[santosstypowany]

They have four franchises keeping them alive

[shinyhuntersmo]

People need to understand that videogames arent all about fucking sPEcS

[DatBoi-hzfd]

In Nintendo’s defense it’s easier to fix stick drift on a machine with removable parts
