switch 2 is way less versatile than the steam deck and way more in CAD. I got my 512GB deck for $419. I can watch streaming services (or plex/jellyfin etc), I can use it as a full computer, I can run tons of emulators for retro games, I can use all my storefronts… I already own literally hundreds of games on it. Hard sell for me after getting a deck, and I say that as someone who loved and played the shit out of my switch1.

On the one hand an expensive new console with limited software and a few high-price games for casual gaming.
On the other hand, basically a handheld PC, available in a wide price and power range, with loads and loads of games in a wide price spectrum.
