  It’s funny you say this, because for 500 bucks I am actually debating between the two as my Christmas present to myself this year.

  I think I’d prefer a Steam Deck for no particular reason. 🏴‍☠️

    They are competitors on a personal level as many people only have the time or money to fit one of them into their lives. But by that definition cycling or golfing is also a competitor and nobody would write an article about how golfing beat the Steam Deck.

    Do what I’m doing. Get the Steam deck and about when that time comes around that you want to buy a switch 2 it’ll have more games out and most likely different colors to pick from ^_^

      And your Steam Deck will likely be able to emulate it.

    If you’re comparing them, as in you don’t have a strong preference for one vs the other, the Steam Deck wins hands down. You get access to a much larger library of games, repairability is awesome, and you can use it like a PC, because it is one.

    The only reasonable reasons to get a Switch 2 are:

    • play first party titles - even when emulators come out, the performance probably won’t be there on the Steam Deck
    • it’s for someone who wants a very simple experience, and they’re willing to pay more
    • the Steam Deck is too big for you - if you have smaller hands, it could be uncomfortable

    But I don’t think most people will really be deciding between the two, they target very different markets.
