Valve's Steam Deck with SteamOS has been consistently in the top sales charts on Steam since release, but recently it dropped down rather hard following the Nintendo Switch 2 announcement.

    Normally I would be excited for a new Nintendo console, but my only thought was. “Do I really want 2 handheld consoles?”

    I’m not excited for it at all and just want to use my steamdeck.

    This will be the first time I don’t get a Nintendo console right away. I may even skip it all together as Nintendo has been assholes lately.

    They will need a really killer set of games for me to change my mind about it.

      Well really, the question is “What does this handheld console actually play?”

      Deck: anything you want within hardware reason Switch: Nintendo roms (they apparently don’t even ship hardware carts now I guess?)

        Huh? Go to any Walmart and you’ll see loads of physical copies. Switch 2 is even confirmed to use them.

        I guess I would consider a switch 2 after they have a few great first party games.

        • Mario Kart
        • 3d Mario
        • 2d Mario
        • big Zelda game
        • Pokémon game that isn’t terrible and overly easy.
        • 3d Metroid
        • 2d Metroid

        I would need a decent number of these items to be on the system before I considered it.
