stop calling the dead (ps vita) among the living. yes steam deck with time will rival Nintendo switch but can't dethrone it. Nintendo switch has been around for a while now and with this lunch of the deck Nintendo might be forced to do a pro switch as time progresses

Steam deck is a gaming pc ... How would a lame console like Nintendo rival that. Is it specs or entry price or flexibility?

With the pictures I'm seeing bro, that deck has nothing on the switch.
Very big, boring and bulky design. People are going to prefer a laptop

apparently you don't understand how dynamic the gaming world works. because steam deck packs hardware nd u tink it will out shine or outwit Nintendo. bro think again. most people loves playing SNES and NES classic games Nintendo stwich has exclusive games u can't see in oda consoles to drive their product well to consumers which they are still selling highest consoles as we speak. rumors has it that Microsoft tries to push their gamepass subscription to Nintendo switch but failed and that why Microsoft has to invest heavily on xcloud gaming.you think it everybody that likes playing heavily demand titles like all dis AAA games u see in oda console. like i said before Nintendo might just do a stwich pro to Cushing any fallout that might occur from steam deck realse and once they do. with there exclusive games it gonna mave waves

Vita is pretty much done and has been for a while. Switch, like all Nintendo products, is for kids.

Steam Deck is just a delivery appliance for Steam. It has greater potential to last because it's tied to the market, but it doesn't seem like it will capture the developer and hack interest it needs. There's too many devices out there for people who want to do whatever with a device like this. And developers won't get on board unless they're confident the device will stick around. Yes, there's plenty of games you can play, but there's a lot of 'ifs' and 'buts.'

It's a decent option for a seemingly small segment of gamers. But if Sony ever bothers to drop PSP 5G, I don't see how they can compete.

First of Nintendo exclusive games are just bland , but i guess like you said, they have their market... However, valve owns steam, and have you seen the games packed in steam? Literally millions of pc games ranging from AAA to indie games.

Valve is not going to make profit off this pc, its designed to sell games on their steam store.

What they have right here is a perfect product , perfect price and a perfect store waiting .

Lets see how december works...but if exclusive games are your argument, i dont think you have been to steam , cause aint no way there arnt thousands of zelda look alikes or zelda coming close to AAA games like control and doom.

i have played control and doom on my Xbox console which is free on xbox gamepass, even on xcloud on my phone. Zelda game still make sense pass the control. all the games available on steam can be played on consoles or mobile self via xcloud so it not a big deal when packing hardware and still no exclusives to show for. people will still prefare to go for Nintendo switch because of does exclusive dy cannot play on either PS, XBOX or PC via steam.like i said Nintendo will just wait and see how it plays out before going the way of stwich 2 or pro

Lmaoo...i develop games for fun(not to make this a bragging measuring contest, just trying to get you)...i can send you some of my indie games made with unity if you want. I dont know what you are on about .

Steam deck runs regualar pc games...developers wouldnt be re-developing games for steam deck...it already plays AAA games...(.exe) In other words, you can swith the steam os with windows os on it and work perfectly.

Again, what are you on about? Cause i want to get your statement .

You're lying, and you're a spammer. You don't know anything about development, hardware, or this particular device. The things you're saying are so uneducated. You sound ridiculous. Just stop.

Lmao...i am actually trying to understand you, but clearly you are just projecting. You havent said one single thing about game dev nor this device that is true.

I like how you talk confidently like you're one misunderstood genius when you throw around "development".

Talmbout " development" and "hardware"... Love and light.


Wont result to an exchange of insult with you. Whatever rocks your boat.

This is the problem, you think some Deck will take over the portable PC gaming market from gaming laptops?

This will probably end up like the Nvidia shield

No...i never said that. I am saying exclusive games are not enough reason for a gaming device not to sell...i used pc vs console to illustrate that example. Then i went on to explain that it's a pc and not a console, hence its not in the same conversation as a console.

this device can use emulators so you can still play the switch exclusives on it.

Unlike you, a lot of people don't have gaming laptop and portability is a determinant factor.
However, for those that do have a gaming laptop...

You sir, know what’s up

Games on steam are crazy, plus I think the steam deck might have capability to pair with VR headsets, that steam deck is going all out to match wits with a lot of varying gaming consoles

steam deck controller that is stuck to the console it self which users will be paying alot of money to technicians to fix when it becomes drifting and it replacement parts will be dam expensive or users of the deck will still be looking for Nintendo joycon parts to put unlike the Nintendo switch that has detachable controllers and can be easily fix by users when it drift without even giving it to any technician, and two people can play together on the switch with does to separate controllers which the steam deck does not have. people are talking of playing AAA titles on the go using steam deck is something XBOX has already done using their xcloud platforms.i can play gears of war 5 doom and many more AAA titles with same original graphics with my phone via xbox cloud and it way cheaper.like i said before Nintendo will just wait it out before realizing SWITCH 2

Lol interesting conversations to all his own but personally. I prefer the best of both worlds which is a gaming laptop, portability of the steam deck and switch, Nintendo exclusives via yuzu ,dolphin and citra and cemu. And that glorious AAA at 60fps mueh chef's kiss. But alas I am broke.

No. PC gaming is a niche market with the Steam Deck providing to an even smaller niche. It will exist on its own and not become a competitor to any product apart from similar-styled handheld gaming computers. It’s somehow funny that entry into PC gaming has a lower ceiling than a few console generations ago. Gaming on low settings using modern hardware looks no different from base PS4 graphics.
