Just a reminder that the price hikes will ruin console gaming and that the Shitch 2 will be Nintendo's last console.

Yep, now post the software sales.

Hint; cyberpunk couldn't sell 6k copies in a whole week.

"Vote with your wallet" in theory is a good idea, it's the little bit of control that we as consumers have, it's just that no one has any fucking principles.

You really should stop. You're going to completely ruin Playstation at this rate

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 locked down physical carts.
>but Nintendo games!
Of course Nintendo hardware is going to be backed by the IP. It's the 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 it's isn't funny, and you don't have to pay attention subscription for it.
>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 Indians 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 consoles problem?

>You do own a PC right
Yes, and I also own a switch, so why the fuck would I want a steam deck?
Any larger, good looking games I will want to play on my PC.
Any nintendo or indie games I will want to play on my switch.
What the fuck am I going to play on a steam deck with a switch/pc combo?

In this case, it's a whatever, I don't care too much. In other cases, normalfags have overwhelmingly supported shit practices like streaming services.

>killer
There is no such thing as anything killer, this is just propaganda to make you do free marketing just like you just did.
Of course, you never had any chance to notice it because this propaganda is older than you, and will be here after you die.
Even before names like nintendo and sega were known for video games, the propaganda was already here:
