    Price hikes for what, Lenovo? I’m still waiting for them to send me my Legion Go S SteamOS edition that I preordered on day one.

    Well… the switch2 just came out - what did they expect?

      Would still get a 1k steamdeck over a 600€ still overpriced switch 2 with 80€ rereleased crap. With vulnerabilities found in the first week of launch.

        You would do that probably because you have a huge Steam library but many Switch users have a huge Switch library and want that performance upgrade. You and me are not their target audience but it remains to be seen if the Switch 2 will flop or exactly what Nintendo fans want right now. There‘s a huge difference between 600€ and 1000€ anyway.

        These are completely different devices for different use cases for different audiences with wildly different tastes. Nintendo hasn’t been in the “core” gaming space since before the Wii.

        I really want to root for Nintendo but they make it hard.

        Opening up my steam library from a console was such a big WTF moment and then being able to suspend games was so mind-blowing.

        It’s still not that beefy for triple-A but I’m considering getting GeForce Now running on it.
