>YOU NINTENDOPHOBIC FUCK

Yeah, I shit on tendies with the Steam Deck. What are you going to do about it?

>Doom the parry ages with forced RTX
>Stillbirth demake
>UE5 demake of a game that I already played
Not much I'm missing out on

>lmao the deck has no exclusives, enjoy wokey kong at 0 fps
The main "exclusive" of the Deck is being able to install whatever software you want without doing a stupid and pointless jailbreak dance in order to own your hardware. Can't say the same for the Switch 2.

BTW... how's Virtual Console going for you tendies?

There is literally no reason to get a Switch 2 in a world where the Steam Deck exists.

FPCs (frequently posted copes):

>it barely outsold the n-gage
Now compare the Deck to other PC handhelds and you realise it dominates the (very niche) market. Why are tendiesnoys crying about sales when the Gamecube exists and got mogged by the PS2 at the time? Are they just hypocrites? Also, Valve clearly sees the Steam Deck as a live experiment. Sales are second to SteamOS and Proton (the main products).
>but it's weak!
Handhelds are always behind home hardware. Steam Deck = 1050ti with a Steam Controller bolted on. Also the Legion and Ally exist and you can install SteamOS on them if you really need to play post-2020 AAA, and if you want to avoid raping your battery, Moonlight exists. You do own a PC right?
>but you don't own games!
You don't have spend money on Steam. You can install DRM-FREE software from GoG/itch.io/DLsite/torrents.
>but physical!
Locked down proprietary cartridges are just as bad as software DRM.
>but Nintendo games!
Obviously Nintendo hardware is going to be backed by their IP - their only unique selling point. I don't expect to ever run Mario Kart World on the Steam Deck, ever. But you know what I will play? Everything else. Even Deck Verified alone mogs the eShop, and don't get me started on PC exclusives that you can play with the minute it takes to set a Proton version. Emudeck completely mogs NSO, and you don't have to pay a subscription.
>but the resolution!
800p is fine with 7.4 inches. Higher resolutions will strangle the battery, which is bad for a portable.
>but Switch 2 Cyberpunk!
Stuttery 30-40fps on 5 year old game. Cool.
>but Linux!
Valve fixed it with Proton. Fuck Windows 11 and Epic Games.
>you're a jeet shilling!
The Steam Deck is LITERALLY SOLD IN FIRST WORLD NATIONS ONLY. Meanwhile jeets line up for Switch 2 as we speak.

The Steam Deck is PCMR's final victory over console peasants.

Are there any arguments? Or can we finally accept the Deck as the final solution to the console problem?

I'm pretty hyped for it as someone who has the original ROG Ally. There's really no reason to own a Switch 2 this gen
