    $300 vs $400 is a stretch for “significantly more” but even accepting that, the steamdeck outclasses the switch’s hardware specs.

    Plus when you buy a switch, you have no games. Anybody buying a steamdeck presumably already has a library of games to play on it.

      it’s more like $200 for the switch, since the deck without addons is more comparable to the switch lite

      50% is already “significantly more”

      100% definitely is

        The switch is $250, the OLED is $300. I should’ve said $250, fair enough.

        However it is absolutely ridiculous to say it’s a switch lite. Pretty much everybody now has a USB-C dongle, which the steam deck can use in most cases. It’s not like Nintendo where you need their proprietary dock. The only thing I can’t do is pop the controls off of the actual system. A switch lite can’t even be docked.

        Most people also have one wireless video game controller, definitely a mouse and keyboard.

          it’s really weird to me that you keep including “things people already have” as if they didn’t have to already buy those things with money in order to have them
