They didn't break any laws.

It's a failure for a reason
>sold enough units valve released an improved OLED version and is already working on the next gen
What a failure indeed.
It sold less than 3 million units
Logitech's moronic cloud handheld sold 3 million units
Those are good numbers for something that barely had any marketing at all.
You really cannot compare it to Switch and PS5 sales and claim "oh hurr it sold like ass."
>barely had any marketing at all
It's been half of the landing screen of an app with 120 million users for months
Most normies don't own a PC, let alone steam.
Black person open steam and that shit's always in the corner
It sold less then the fricking n-gage that's fricking pathetic
>barely had any marketing at all.
Black person the media can't stop creaming over it because they're pcbros.
What media? It only gets covered in a few israelitetube tech channels.
It never got massive billboards or TV commercials.
Never fricking seen it mentioned off of Ganker
>Gets so hot you can fry an egg
Like an iphone

Like an iphone
>Worse specs than a fricking iPhone
Cheaper than an iphone
>3 hour battery life
Better than an iphone
>Cheaper than an iphone
To be honest I don't think that's relevant because everyone already has a phone and if you take that into account you could say that you pay $0 for the ability to play games on your phone on top of what you have already paid anyway.
>owning an iPhone
>paying for a contract phone
>paying for any phone that Costa more than $300
good goy
Some people can thrive in poverty, others have greater aspirations.
I repeat my previous post
typical iphone user
switch is like aatari lynx but far superior.
how did nintendo get away with it?
oh yea by not breaking any laws
Laws have not been broken.
>can't exactly alternate docked and portable modes in the middle of a game without potential bugs afterwards
>no tablet mode
>much larger as a handheld which prevents to take it in outdoor situations (Switch was already pushing the acceptable sizes)
>no in-built feature to record short video clips and screenshots are a mess to find within folders
>Steam isn't exactly friendly to certain small Japanese third-parties (such as Aquaplus and ADV games) due of american sensibilities
I own both the Steam Deck (non-OLED) and Switch OLED, the latter is actually much better in terms of convenience but also tailored to my tastes in Japanese videogames, indies and old western titles. Steam Deck is primarily for the few missing titles and retro emulation (up to PS2) in my case. It's still a nice gadget but nothing more, still more useful than a PS5 by comparison however.
>great switch emulator
>Nintendo invented portable vidyas
moron
Still waiting for a modded backplate replacement so I can fit in a 2280 SSD.
>Doesn't make a dent in Nintendos sales and actually strengthened them
lmao
Would have been perfect with a 6c and ps3 emulation.
Il get the Steam Deck 2 if they make one before I reach 40.
I'm quitting gaming then
You can emulate a lot of ps3 games but big ones like gow3 (which should get a port someday anyway)
I couldn't use the Switch in handheld mode without investing in an external grip to rest my palms against. Positioning my thumbs straight up to press the buttons when holding it normally gave me serious cramps. Looking at the Steam Deck I can only assume it'd be much worse since the buttons are not only on the very edge but the sides curve inward. At a certain point the thumbs would be bending backwards.
Bizarrely enough, it feels better than it looks. Couldn't really tell you why. Maybe something to do with how they positioned the actual gripping section or the slight angle around the buttons because they're on the edge. Also lighter than it looks.
The biggest problems with it are that it's a Linux portable so you have to deal with all sorts of tedious shit you wouldn't normally with a console, even nowadays and even for much better Steam's OS is compared to actually dealing with real Linux. Start up was a huge pain because of whatever Wifi thing they've got going on. That, and apparently there's a lot of units with audiojack issues, though I haven't noticed any. Also it does indeed get pretty hot and battery life can be whatever depending on the games you're running.
Switch 2 coming out soon, the "steam'ick" will be left a dusty footnote in gaming history. Tick tock steamies.
love me some steam 'ick
>How did Valve get away with this?
By using hardware that was as old as the hardware at the time the switch launched.
The buttons are not working on mine, what can I do? It just happened one day, I have factory resetted it, restarted it, switch to Beta and Preview, nothing works, it says controller not detected. The touch screen and volume buttons work, anyone had this problem?
>troonix superior to just werks goytendo
The absolute state of OP.
