Hmmm!, now there's the dilemma...

If you want to play all the games you own on the go, get a Switch.

If you want to play all the games you rent on the go, get a Steam Deck.

    >The Nintendo Switch runs Switch-exclusive games
    >The Steam Deck (...) can play any game in the Steam library

    No contest. Unless there are some very specific Switch-exclusives that you absolutely cannot live without, go for Steam Deck. /edit: or PC, of course :)

      They target very different demographics and genres though

        The problem is that will valve drop support for this portable console quickly like they drop support for their previous hardware, valve seems to be like Google on this respect.

          lol, oddly enough Steam Deck vs Nintendo Switch kinda reminds me of Android vs iPhone.

                I'd rather use this money for upgrading my PC's components, since I use it for gaming anyway. High-refresh gaming. :)

                  if you want gaming go for pc, if you are rich go for nintendo or steam deck. just casual/simple game? go for a phone. so i choose PC if i want gaming.
