For someone without an existing library, sure, but if you have a massive existing Nintendo/Switch1 or Steam library, that's going to drive your decision making far more than the price tag.
- bwilliams 4mo agoI think that's a factor for sure, but is less important (generally) as the price gap increases. The Steam Deck also has a disadvantage in that only some of your existing library will be playable on the device. There's definitely a price point for some where it will make sense to rebuild your library on the Switch vs pay the higher cost of a Deck.
- Kreutzer 4mo agoThe nice thing about the Switch 2 is you can find a plethora of games at your local library (if you have one, that is). That's essentially how my wife played 20+ games with her Switch 1.
