Switch 2 vs. Steam Deck

they aren't even in competing markets

since the deck was announced it's been heavily shilled here as the switch killer
now you're backpedalling after if flopped hard with barely 4 million units sold

why would i care how many were sold?

You can do anything you want on it

except running any modern games decently

heavily shilled here as the switch killer

Must be rough for you autistic tendies to not be able to detect when people are just fucking with you lmao.

It IS a portable device, with the heating, battery and power limitations inherent to it's form factor

You wouldn't. You're a PC vegan so feelings tend to matter more than fact due to your cultists dogma.

This image makes vegans sound insanely based ngl

Please never stop posting this image

Do you even hear yourself, man?

so it's just an objectively worse laptop cucked out of any game released this generation that isn't pixelshit, got it

Your family is worried about you

Yeah what's on your mind?

I don't think so.

Shitch has less than 750k preorders tho
Do any of you retards even think this is normal ?
It's going to flop you faggots. Steam Deck always win.

Least deranged tendie

Average steam game in 2025 requires Ryzen 9999

That's why you keep spamming same jpgs on Anon Babble, right?

steam deck 2030505230 Games

switch 2 0 Games

lol

Calls other people cultists

Lolololololol

Steam deck. The only console with literally zero of its own games.

I love my ally x

It's going to flop you faggots. Steam Deck always win.

Many people saying this...

Why does the Deck offend Nintendo schizos? Is it because of the piracy?

yikes, brokefags have been stuck emulating ancient games at 800p and larp as pc players

What's the answer?

trvke

I don't pirate anything. And I have a GPD Win 4 (8840u), which is much more powerful than the Switch 2 and Steam Deck combined (not to mention small enough to the point where you can easily put it in your pocket).

namefaggot

Grim

an objectively worse laptop

Eh, "gaming" laptops tend to have way worse quality and build standards
And they also have fucky drivers and firmware
The deck has them beat in that aspect, it also has a better performance/price ratio than it's competitors on top of features desireable for vidya like quick resume
If your primary desire is playing on the go but still want to be able to do PC things then it's a good deal, you weren't going to play AAA games at framerates above 20 on any mobile device without paying out the nose anyway

AAA games

I haven't played one in almost a decade. I don't care at all about them so it's great for me. Indies and emulation works perfect.

Steam Deck is $800!

Deckies are broke!

Which is it Rajeesh?

SHITsona profile picture

dogshit take

Classic.

it doesn't count

did tendies seethe this hard about the psp?

There's no such thing as a console's "own games", you're mindbroken by exclusives marketing

"do steam deck users ever actually play steam games on it"

makes deckfags ITT seethe

lmao

It's not a console thoughever

I don't own a deck but I do own a PC. Sin and Punishment: Star Successor is a game worth playing on Dolphin.

You're broke as shit in real life. Also you dress yourself up as a word that bothers you as a coping mechanism. Hope this helps.

objectively worse

Nope.

Deck

OLED screen

infinite free games

made and enjoyed by white people

Switch 2

no OLED

$120 games

made by nips for brown children

yeah its a tough choice LMAO

Our little decklets are nothing compared to these BBC DeAndre Washington games...

It's just old
Meanwhile the tendie toy is only stronger than the deck because it's using more of the equally old silicon that's heavily discounted because it's deprecated e-waste
And you can't even compare it to a laptop because of how little it can actually do

It's literally because Deck is just better. Piracy has been a thing since forever.
This is like the Palworld situation.

There's no such thing as a console's "own games"

There is.

handheld is bad because it cant run the latest games designed for the latest non portable hardware

Isnt this expected though? Portable devices have always at least one generation behind. Why wouldnt they be?
The psp was less powerful than a ps2 and despite that it peaked in popularity during the ps3 era.
The steam deck has done more to close the gap than any other handheld in history and for that it gets shit on by retards like you.

steam deck screen

206 PPI

average 27" 2560x1440 monitor

108 PPI

If you think this is a problem you're retarded

Toad is so lucky

actually yes

Then they gave up on you a long time ago. Probably the right choice.

Steam deck

4 million should

Switch 2

Literally nobody has one

99% of gaming laptops people buy cant run modern games decently either. Your 60 series shitbox cant run anything well from the past gen.

Why does the switch cause so much butthurt on deckbeards?
over 150 million people are having a lot of fun with their switches while deckbeards are just seething and not playing anything on their failed bricks

Lancer deltarune

Not really. My shitty laptop is better than gabe's tablet and pokemon is better than palworld. Cheers.

posts my archived posts every thread

thinks I'm the one bothered

Lol I'm actually richer than most Americans in their 20s but whatever helps you cope.

Ok PC vegan.

To be fair, so does the Switch 2 by the looks of things. It's just a glorified port machine for old games, and it's still bad at it because it can't even run a 5 year old game in 60fps 1080p.

It's $399

wears my word

Yes you're bothered.

This thread is demonstrating the opposite

Unless it costs twice as much that isn't really true

Steam Deck isnt *really* $400! You need to buy more storage!

The Deck is $400!

Erm... which is it Nincel cultist bros?

Keeps spamming archive

Immediately responds to me every thread

Yes you're bothered

Barely any Steam games even have a Linux version so they don't exactly have many options.

cultist spreads misinformation

gets corrected

S-SEE? YOU'RE DEFENDING A THING, THAT MAKES YOU A CULTIST JUST LIKE ME

embarrassing

OOF!

Sure.

You're the only person in this thread that didn't post the biggest most retarded take in the world

mfw playing Donkey Kong (Gameboy) on my steamerooni dookatooie

You'll survive.

steamie cultists buttdevastated. Emulation is also gay and worse than og hardware

Yeah I figured it was you

Last count it has something like 16.000+ playable games.

Imagine being so poor you can't emulate properly.

two retards fighting

tendies accuse others of being cultists despite using the cultist argument of being numerous when even slightly pressured that has nothing to do with being good and everything to do with the ad populum cultist style argument

This just shows how hilariously out of touch retards are on here. Unless you're playing a 30 year old game or irrelevant GaaS slop nobody plays anymore, every game just werks on Linux. That's like 5000 games more than the Shitch has plus porn games they'll never ever get.

You'll survive

Steam Deck is better for playing GameCube games than any Nintendo handheld. You get access to its complete library while nintóddlers sóyface over being drip-fed a GameCube game every few months.

spreads misinformation

about what?
the deck and the switch aren't even targeting the same audiences, one is meant for casuals and kids who just want to plug the game in and be able to play super mario and the other is for enthusiasts who are willing to tinker and have a less streamlined experience in exchange for more freedom to use the device however they want

i.e one is for idiots and idiot parents easily parted with their money while the other is for people with 90 IQ. I agree.

At least you're consistent.

This is debunked btw.
youtu.be/5toDxw23Aic?si=DEp3wEaFVVD4WKdE

The 150 million idiots that get easily parted with their money?

Nintedobros we are so fucking back. Do you fuckers even know how hard it's been to call Cyberpunk mid or slop for the last 5 years because I wasn't released on the Switch? But now that this game is finally playable on a Nintendo console, we no longer need to hold back and give cyberkino some well-deserved praise.

Why does the deck cause so much seething on Anon Babble?

This but nintendo

Yes. Most people are retarded living in brown third world countries and Japan is going full retard this decade.

If you are going to respond to me, can you please take the time to answer the question I asked?

Yes, I can't wait to have a great time with Elden Peak and Street King 6.

Its existence was used to bait autistic tendies into having meltdowns and now they are convinced all the bait threads where actually real people and there is some kinda console war between two products that have completely different markets.

Nintendo is seething so much about the deck and its emulation of their toys that they went out of their way to alter the hardware so much that it has to emulate the switch 1 games

As someone who loves using the steam deck I hate how much people are making everyone hate us

steam bro plays games on deck

nintendo sister posts words on twitter

How about the fact that we keep having to see a fucking penis on top of one?

I just like playing my pc games on my tiny, handheld shaped pc

blame tendies for being so easily baited

Switch 2

old

locked down, zero freedom or mods

library controlled by a greedy corpo

can be sniped offline forever for being naughty, you don't own the console

Deck

old

Imagine picking a fight where the match of time is the only thing you need to defeat you

this is PC gaming according to deckies

Bruh how are you playing anything below 1440p 120 FPS? Anything lower causes me physical pain. Even my phone runs games at higher frame rates

I like how this simple question is making deckniggers seethe. It's not even console war faggotry related or anything lol

this is the result of the industry's reliance on DLSS.

why aren't you swearing eternal allegiance to your brand ahaha gotcha

Gen Z and beyond shouldn't be allowed to live.

Nintendo has a patent for "A handheld device featuring a touchscreen with joysticks to either side", which they filed tomorrow.

You can't do that on a PC either

? People also emulate ps and even Xbox games yet you won't see those faggots complaining lmao

consolefags utterly confused at the concept of emulation

every single time

SH2R runs like shit in a lot of PCs too, it's badly optimized
Most re games run at 60fps of course this is not convenient to you.

Tendies get offended when people enjoy other products, they think that's offensive for their god Nintendo.

+5 good goy points have been added to your snoy social credit score

Ok tendiejeet

Most 30 year old games run better on Proton than they do on Windows 10 and 11.

Haven't owned a console since the PS3 my lil' schizo

When do you ever see piratetrannies bragging about PS and xbox emulation?

In the threads where snoys crop up blabbing about Bloodborne
Happened even yesterday

on steam

can backup your game anywhere, mod it make copies and do whatever. you own it

on switch

no such option

Gave BB trannies a stroke few months ago, it was great. Most fun you can squeeze out of that kusoge, for sure.

With the deck I can literally drag game folders for games I installed of a cd from my pc to the deck then play them without even installing them. Can you drag your switch 1 games onto your switch 2 for free without internet?

port slop

With the deck I can literally drag game folders for games I installed of a cd from my pc to the deck

*after either using a dock, playing musical chairs by moving the games to an SD card then from the SD to the goydeck, or doing heavy nvme shuffling in and out of the device by prying it open
**and by using a compatibility layer to run windows software
***and said layer tends to be so finicky to the point you are recommended to have a proton manager to handle the gorillion versions to use for different exes
just get a real computer

I just like playing Tekken 7 on the deck at work.

i mean handhelds in the deck's weight class allow you to emulate with fewer compromises than what you can usually get away with on cheaper ones

you can use the good retroarch cores and such, makes a pretty big difference for 5th gen systems

You know with proton experimental you just need to add the exe, right?

Jesus just use one of these, you tendies really are fucking outdated with technology lmao

*after either using a dock, playing musical chairs by moving the games to an SD card then from the SD to the goydeck, or doing heavy nvme shuffling in and out of the device by prying it open

Where's your wifi, grandpa?

**and by using a compatibility layer to run windows software

More performant AND smoother than Windows btw.

Just use proton. Most old games use experimental or 4.13 at most.

dock

You don't need docks for that, there are plenty of double USB for that.

Personally, a product's quality shouldn't be determined by how much money it makes, or how many sales it moved. Should we condemn the gamecube for not being a moneymaker like the Ps2?

Is this new? Before I needed to use lutris but now experimental can pretty much install anything

Tendies always change their sides, of course PS2 doesn't count and when some indies outsold Nintendo ips the Jannies tendies sent the threads to Anon Babble lmao
Don't bring Terraria to Zeldafags. There is a reason tendies avoid sales comparisons with certain games

useless console war fight for retards

Thanks, OP
Glad you could post this twitter screenshot.

So you admit you need an internet connection lmfao.

I was surprised by the graphics and performance of Re Village on the Deck, you can get great visuals with an stable 40 fps and it's the only game I've played where TAA doesn't ruin the visual quality when the game is running at 800p

there's been a moment in the past 20 years I didn't have Internet access

Sup, Comrade Ivan.

Steam does what Nintendon't.

the entire point of a handheld is to take it anywhere

but it's useless if you're not within range of wifi, or if the wifi sucks

Holy schizo

Elden Ring runs better on Switch 2 than the Steam Deck

Steamie weenies..

Why would you play Elden Ring? You guys said it yourself that "wasn't fit to lick the shit from Nintendo's boots". How odd that suddenly you're excited to play it.

steam cucks only steals Nintendo games, they don't even play steam games

but can't run any new pc games at a playable performance

neither can the average PC. Not without AI upscaling and fake frames and all this bullshit.
Modern games are pure unoptimised garbage.

*after either using a dock, playing musical chairs by moving the games to an SD card then from the SD to the goydeck, or doing heavy nvme shuffling in and out of the device by prying it open

I just map my Decks storage to my PC as a network drive with sshfs :)

They think it's a "competition" and that Nintendo is exempt from the current shituation with dedicated gaming devices (which the steam deck currently steam rolls everything since it's basically a factory soft/hard modded system that won't brick from you installing whatever the fuck you want on it)

They also suck and the only reason people tolerate them is because (generally) you can't play legacy games on modern systems.

So be in the first world.

So you admit you need an internet connection lmfao.

You're a shitposter but Proton is installed locally.

Not like anyone would want to use proton.

moom, pacman.org deleted all of my system32 files again!

Why would I buy a Steam Deck? I already have a PC. I'm gonna buy Switch 2 not because it's handheld, but because it's a console.

maybe with dlss sloppa you can’t turn off it does. elden ring on deck is a 30fps game, but at least it’s native res and can be made to look good while only pulling 16W in overworld and 10W in dungeons

why would you buy a console

If you're (allegedly) smart enough to own an (assumingly capable) pc and decide a Steam Deck is probably something you wouldn't want to invest in
Why in the world would you even remotely consider the value black holes that are modern gaming systems?

You can't play Cyberpunk 2077 on a GTX 750. Switch 2 is handy to fill that hole.

Same reason you'd watch NASCAR: poor and dumb.

You mean the game that was only noteworthy for being a poorly running mess on launch?
