Let's clear up some misconceptions about the Steam Deck.

>it barely outsold the n-gage/wii u!
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, or just use Moonlight streaming. You do own a PC right?
>but you don't own games!
You don't have to buy anything on Steam. You can install DRM-FREE software from GoG/itch.io/DLsite/torrents.
>but physical!
DRM-free shits on proprietary physical carts.
>but Nintendo games!
Of course Nintendo hardware is going to be backed by their IP. It's 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 shits all over 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 mogs NSO so completely and you can game knowing that Valve won't steal your games like Nintendo did with the Virtual Console.
>but the resolution!
800p is fine with 7.4 inches. Higher resolutions will strangle the battery, which is bad for a portable device.
>but switch 2 cyberpunk!
Stuttery 30-40fps on 5 year old game. Cool.
>but Linux!
Valve fixed it with Proton. Fuck Windows 11.
>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.

Are there any more arguments? Or can we all agree the Steam Deck is based and the final solution to the console problem?

>>712452229
I own a deck but the "low sales" critique is correct. Valve should lower the price slightly, put more money into advertising and put it on more store shelves.

Was rumored to be on the way before the Trump Tariff hiked prices and screwed up OLED supply. They've proven they can sell the LCD model for $299 during sales, but with the higher end models unavailable there isn't much pressure for that right now.

>put it on more store shelves
Also persistent rumors of that happening, but it seems like even with the second production line they're still not getting enough volume to really make it happen. Of course there's the rumors about a third line starting up to utilize increased volume for Aerith+. Having a line per SKU might let them really start to crank them out.

It still seems like getting units assembled, and Decks shipped out is still the bottleneck more than anything else.

Why do tendies keep comparing the Switch 2 to the Deck? One is a mainstream console marketed to the general public and the other is an enthusiast device for a specific audience of people to play PC games they already own on the go. I don't think Valve ever even intended for the Deck to compete with Switch and vice versa.

Are tendies just insecure about their purchase and need to make up console wars to justify it?

>>712454789
Yeah, Deck is mostly about getting a PC platform outside of Microsoft's control up to a sustainable user base where devs start supporting it. Handheld is just a convenient way to accomplish that because modern Windows is always going to be too heavy to really compete in that segment.

With Linux up to 5% outside China they're on their way to making it happen. They just need to figure out how to get net cafes over there to buy SteamOS systems instead machines with pirated Windows.

I would argue that it's not worth it to buy one in 2025 unless you buy a refurbished Deck. I mean $300 for slightly blurrier visuals than the Switch 2 and roughly the same performance, with all the benefits of pc gaming? It's a bargain. Otherwise, just get one of the Z2E devices, especially if the Xbox Ally X is priced reasonably.
>>712443570
>Switch has 99% of any worthwhile Steam indies + actual quality 1st party titles

Haha, that really bings my wahoos...

I got CRT screen poisoning.

>>712452661
There was no chance of it selling like a big 3 console. It could have sold 10 million units imo if they released it in every major store, it had a huge advertising campaign and there were no supply chain issues. My theory is that Valve just overestimated how popular it would be with pc gamers and assumed they might move from laptops to buying a Deck, but normies who have Steam accounts already have computers to use more often than not. The consumers who want to get into PC gaming are going to go into a store physically to explore their options or look for the best local deals online without signing up for a brand new account. Either way, whether it sells a lot or not doesn't determine how useful it is to the consumer, so whatever. The fact that Deck 2 is confirmed and other companies are adopting SteamOS tells me all I need to know.
>>712458780
That's the way to go, anon. I love my OLED. Even for $500 it's a good deal. If you consider all the games you don't need to double dip on and all the exclusive Xbox and Playstation games it more than makes up for not playing a forgettable 8/10 racer.

Switch 2 is a game console while the Steam Deck is a PC that's designed mainly for playing games on your steam library, but you can do whatever the fuck you want with it
Switch 2 doesn't really appeal when its games are 40% more expensive and doesn't even have an OLED screen in 2025

>>712460051
It's worse than that, you can't even mod nintendo games. Nintendo has this hatred of romhacks and user mods because of some japanese notion that you're never allowed to disagree with the author's vision.

The real reason is because of two things. Storage capacity for GTAO which followed onto the Switch and the RAGE engine not being optimized for Wii-U

That's the real issue for me. Greedy fucks want to give the okay to the rest of the industry to overcharge on shitty unfinished games. Microsoft is already following through and you know Sony is just waiting for their next big title to come out to do the same. Fuck Nintendo and fuck the dipshit idiots who bought Mario Kart World and encouraged this behavior.

>>712453382

>>712442983 (OP)
Shut up Snoy, Deck 2 is coming with custom Zen 6 RDNA 3.5+, it'll close the gap.

>>712461409
It feels like shit without mkb. You can technically do this on the Switch, but why play it on low at 30fps instead of on PC or PS5?

>>712462264
Not likely. Zen 5 probably. Unless it isn't even in the works yet.

What do you need all that power for anyway. Graphics are way over rated.

>>712453382
Wow the deck looks like SHIT

Switch 2 is fucking gemming out, and you just know CP2077 might get more optimization patches in the future for Switch 2. We fucking won.

The OLED Deck is pricey for what it is, but I still find it much more valuable than a console locked down to the level of the Switch 2. There is no end to the amount of games I can play on a Deck right after buying it without buying anything else, without even having a mother fucking Steam account, while on the Switch 2 I'm stuck buying all of the 2 games that just came out, and relying on old Switch titles that might or might not run somewhat better, upscaled. Of which 95% are indie games the Deck runs much better.
Like if I had to pay 500 bucks for a handheld at least I'd ask more than just playing cyberpunk at under 30fps at times. And by more I don't mean more performance. Fuck is the point of performance without games? Look at what happened to the OG Xbox. The PS2 took a shit on it and it was much weaker.

>>712462264
>Close
The Z1E buries the Switch Poo, and Z2E is only going further with better battery life. When Switch 2 comes out with FSR 5 and RDNA 4 it's going to be a brutal Witcher 3 mogging situation all over again.

many such cases. the threads from weeks ago trying to claim the switch 2 was leagues more powerful just because it could run cyberpunk 2077 at an objectively better looking graphical fidelity look like a fucking joke now. you've got ONE dev outside of Nintendo that worked with upscaling hell to make cyberpunk look better on switch 2, and for what? to sell more consoles? already happened - the switch 2 would always be more popular. but i can play almost anything on my steam deck, and i don't need your shitty nintendo games (can still play all the halfway decent ones on my deck anyway)

>>712462494
Zen 6 should be available in early 2027 for handhelds, the one they're pushing is Zen 6 RDNA 3.5+ for gaming handhelds. Zen 6 RDNA 3.5+ gives Valve their generational leap in performance and power efficiency that they want that will match or exceed the OG Steam Deck while keeping an affordable price point for the base model.

>>712462737

This only with Z2 extreme(The Z1 alone has more performance than the Switch 2, which is simply more efficient)
And this is AI Max+ 395 8060s
https://youtube.com/watch?v=_ia-nU2NsuM
and it only consumes 90w in total, a hybrid hardware between the Z2 and the 395 doing the same thing, one in Handheld mode and the other in dock would already be a beast, of course too optimistic and expensive (although over time production and efficiency become cheaper), probably the Steam Deck 2 will only have similar hardware, it may be the custom version of the Z2

Muh pupetual hardware upgrades. Prior to 2010 you updated your hardware every 4 years unless you were a rich kid. Now companies push this nonsense of "oh shit that's 2 years old you luddite".
Meanwhile the games aren't really any better graphically they just force a few extra textures onto one map or an extra character model probably using ai and then bill you an extra console.

This crap is why I'm done with "AAA" game corpos. It's even worse than the latest phone version because at least big phone companies give you good tech support (typically).

>>712462978
Yeah but I would guess it's while running intensive stuff, right?

...right? Please don't tell me this piece of shit cannot do power management. I can legitimately get 10 hours out of my deck if I don't run the crazy games everyone wants to play on that shit for whatever reason.

Valve said they won't start making it until the technology is there for a meaningful boost. Unless they can get FSR 4 on it they shouldn't bother imo. It would put its upscaling more or less on par with Switch 2's.

I personally think it'll run at 30fps, maybe 40fps with lower settings and FSR's help. Probably like Elden Ring's situation was for the current Deck. Just my total shot in the dark take based on Deck 2 coming out when 10th gen is going to be starting and I assume it'll do the same thing where it tries to run "last gen" games at 30-40 fps. My main hope is that the games which currently run at 40 are able to run at 60 with higher settings and equivalent battery.

100 for an old game port at 30-40 fps, what the flying fack. Tendies on the Mario mushrooms? Nintendo staff needs to commit soduku.
