Title: Steam Deck vs Nintendo Switch OLED: The Zen 2-powered gaming PC from Valve is a performance beast but there is still plenty of room for a future Switch Pro
Post by: Redaktion on July 18, 2021, 21:25:15
Valve's Steam Deck has been revealed and unsurprisingly the ultra-portable gaming PC and console hybrid has already been frequently compared with the Nintendo Switch (OLED model). However, while the Steam Deck is preposterously more powerful than the new Switch, it won't stop Nintendo having a huge hit on its hands when the Switch Pro/Switch 2 finally emerges.

Honestly I think people keep making assumptions about the successor of the Switch as if the Wii U didn't happen at all, the success of the Wii (still the best selling Nintendo home console) and the "huge library" didn't really help that much back then, they might not help the Switch Pro/2/Whatever when they will eventually release it.

Is storage replaceable? Can I buy emmc version and install SSD in it? It will be cheaper than buying SSD version

"Nintendo can also rely on its huge library of first-party titles featuring storied characters such as Link, Mario, and Kirby to keep fans loyal to the brand. "

Which you can all play in better form on the Switch Deck via emulation lol

Agreed, the emulators for all those top nintendont ips make switch a total nogo for a large segment of gamers.
