Steam Deck or Switch 2?

Do you want to play Nintendo games?

Then you'd have to be retarded to get a Steam Deck instead.

Switch 2 for now.

Deck 2 in '26/'27.

It depends on the games

If you like online shooters, then you need switch because Splatoon is king of online shooters.

Steam deck is only really good if you're into emulating some consoles like PS2 or something, and there are some games you really want to play that are not on Switch 2 currently. However other than that, Switch 2 is pretty much better.

the deck is pretty dated by todays standards.
if you dont have a massive steam backlog and want to play nintendo games, get the switch 2

that's a dude

Neither.
The Switch 2 isn't even a replacement for the Switch 1 yet, so assuming you already have the Switch 1, stick with it until at least the beginning of next year.
The Steam Deck is more of a luxury product. You can play its games on a relatively inexpensive desktop, and a desktop PC will be superior to the Deck for everything you do except playing in handheld mode. Spending money on a relatively expensive device just to play things in handheld mode doesn't seem like a very smart thing to do, which is why I say it's a luxury item. You only do it if $500 doesn't mean much to you and you're the type of person who spends that kind of money a single night on a fancy restaurant or some shit like that.

I'd disagree. There's ton of good stuff going for Switch 2. Granted, you'll probably get most fun out of it (currently) playing Switch 1 titles with the performance boost. But the hardware is more fun, it's better, the joycon gimmick is better (magnets > rails). Digital Foundry said that the screen is slightly more laggier than OLED screen, I can't comment on that because I've mostly been playing on dock mode (didn't want to take risks with the screen until protector arrived this week). I got to play some games on handheld this week, only complain I have is ergo is not the best and some grips (dbrand?) could be nice to have, but the screen thing is not something I noticed when playing Switch (maybe game didn't have fast enough action, dunno).

Also unlike Deck, Switch has better hybrid setup, meaning you can take it to your friends place and within seconds you're playing your entire game library at a friend's TV. For that reason alone I feel much more comfortable investing money on Switch library than on Steam library, cause Steam games more than likely are games you'll be playing alone.
