Why would you buy a steamdeck?

>>717592182 (OP)
I wouldn't buy one.
I already have one so buying another seems pointless

>>717592182 (OP)
I don't play handhelds, but if I had to guess the Steam Deck probably has 10 times more games and sales.

>>717592182 (OP)
it has 25,000 games, all free.
how are those 3 switch games going for ya?

>>717592182 (OP)
So I can play more than two games?

*ghosts*

To play Sims 3

Because the Steamdeck won't fucking spontaneously break like the Switchgender 2 which is made out of suicidium.

>>717592182 (OP)
More games to play, including some Switch 1 games via emulation. Switch 2's library is just Switch 1 games and what, 2 games?

Steam Deck:
>upgradable storage
>access to a massive amount of games for cheap
>no lock in
>emudeck

Switch 2:
>no upgrade path
>extremely locked down
>subscription requirement for anything
>2 whole games
>1080p resolution that no game will ever use because DLSS is basically a requirement

Not even a comparison

i have switch 2 to play nintendo games and steam deck to play ntr h-games on the go.

The real rival of the Deck is laptops.
I have a laptop with a GTX1650 or something like that, and 100% of the time I needed my games but wasn't at home, that laptop met my needs. With a trackball, I can even play strategy games, management games, city builders, etc., things that are really bad on a joystick.
If laptops didn't exist, I would completely understand the need for a Steam Deck, but since there are already several portable options, I think it's more of a luxury toy for people who like cool and sophisticated things than something really necessary for video game players.

fucking aye that's a man?

>>717592182 (OP)
My steam library is way larger than my Switch library

>>717592182 (OP)
post scale weight and timestamp

>>717592182 (OP)
The human eye can't see more than 360p.

>>717592182 (OP)
>it has a higher resolution so it must be a better device
Did you come here in a time machine from 1991?

>>717592182 (OP)
I want my hardware tied to a bit less retarded and comically evil corporation since there is no other alternative.

>>717592182 (OP)
to play games?

>>717595162
blue lightning and slime world were kino

>>717592182 (OP)
Because deck has games.

>>717592305
>Steam Deck probably has 10 times more games
You think there's 20 games on PC?

there's already more mario kart world owners than steam deck owners
the steam deck is a failure barely anyone owns, they just happen to be vocal loser neets with nothing better to do than shilling shit for free all day

>>717592182 (OP)
If you don't like nintendo games or if you already have a substantial PC library.

>>717592182 (OP)
1280x800? What fucking tard aspect ratio is that. No game is gonna display at native res on that screen, and any 720p content is gonna look like complete shit

>>717592182 (OP)
it has games

>>717601367
I've seen a couple of modern laptops with 16:10 aspect ratio.

>>717592182 (OP)
The main advantage of the Deck is being able to install whatever software you want without doing a stupid and pointless jailbreak humiliation ritual in order to uncuck your hardware that you should rightfully own. Can't say the same for the Shitch- sorry, I mean the Switch 2.
>but any laptop/umpc/phone can do that
But the Steam Deck does it best because it is LITERALLY designed for playing PC games thanks to the trackpads, back buttons, capacitive joysticks and Steam Input. Wanna know why? Because the left trackpad can be used for hotkeys, the back buttons are also used for hotkeys, the capacitive joysticks can be used for gyro activation, and Steam Input makes it piss easy to set it all up. Meanwhile the rest of the competition is still trapped in Microsoft's xInput dogshit.
>boasting about a 1080p screen when cyberpunk runs at 360p

BTW, how's Virtual Console going for you tendies? Oh wait, you have to pirate VC games since Big N realised NSO was more profitable LMAOOOOOOOO

Pick only one. No one likes driving on intermission tracks.
