Are PC handhelds like Steam Deck really competitors for Switch 2?

  No they are not mutually exclusive

  If all of its games were available elsewhere, there would be a lot less switch users

  Within an enthusiast bubble, PC handhelds are a big deal, but they do not exist in the same universe as Nintendo consoles.

  I keep hearing this shit and it seems like stupid wishful thinking, because in a locked-down universe where Switch 2 is not a shitty proposition for way too much cash compared to getting a PC with 10k+ PC games from the get go and also emulating anything you wish because it’s your hardware and it’s just bits - in that universe, Polygon is a much needed pool of experts that people go to for advice instead of clicking on stupid ragebait titles telling them a log of shit is the new snickers.

  No. They aren’t available widespread enough off the Internet, not marketed enough, too heavy. Maybe a hypothetical future Switch 2 and Switch Lite
