Many people I know have bought more games on Steam than they could ever play (a behaviour encouraged by seasonal Steam sales). This strikes me as a great chance for people to discover and play titles that have sat in their collections for years.

Guilty. For various reasons, I just don't find gaming on my laptop or media computer an enjoyable experience. Too much dealing with thermals, audio/controller issues, random driver crashes and updates (thanks AMD), etc etc. I know I can get it to work, but when I'm at the point in the day where I just want to play a game for an hour before bed, the PS4 can have me into it in 10 seconds or less with a very low likelihood of drama. Anyway, I know this isn't universal, but it's enough of a thing for me that I've even re-bought Humble Bundle games on PSN just so I can enjoy playing them that way. Maybe Steam Deck would be polished enough to change my mind?

  I ditched my PC for a PS4 a few years back, and the quality of life improvement was tremendous. No more endlessly updating... everything, down to the MOUSE DRIVERS. Just hit the button, and pick up where you left off. I used to worry about the thermal cycle of playing Civ 5 on my MBP, but it's a 2019, and I WANT it to wear out early -- if such a thing is possibly -- to justify upgrading to an M-based, TouchBar-less version sooner.

    It's definitely a cost premium buying the console versions of indie titles, and it's not usable for strategy games or twitch shooters where you have to have a mouse. And obviously no mods or free multiplayer. But if those things aren't a consideration and/or your main jam is single player action adventure, going console is a no-brainer.

The specs look good enough to smoothly run The Witcher 3 in 720p (screen size).
