            Is it that much bigger than the Switch? To be clear: I don't own one and don't plan on owning one either. I was just curious.

              They're about the same size, both don't fit in a pocket and need a bag or case.

              99% of Switch owners have never even heard of the Steam Deck. In fact a huge portion of them have never heard of Steam as a whole.

        What people miss about "portable gaming" is that it's simply a different user experience.
        No one should be arguing for or against playing in public because that's going to be different depending on where you live.
        Sometimes people want to roll around on the couch and be in different rooms.
        Most 5 year olds are bringing their tablets into the bathroom so they can take a shit and consoom. It isn't a stretch to take a Switch or a Deck into the toilet too.

                No they aren't. Somewhere like shanghai and salto are opposites to within 100km but Brazil and Japan are 1,450 km out from being opposites.
                You shouldn't assume people are the same just because they know more than you, nor should you assume they were speaking literally, that's an ESL level mistake.

      As I've gotten older, I've been less and less interested in being tethered to my desk or to the TV to play games. There are still discussing games or situations where I will do so but it's becoming less frequent and I find myself wanting to play games AND watch TV or hang out in the same room as my wife or play in bed. Handhelds let me do this. I don't get them so I can play them in public. I get them so I can play and do something else at the same time. They also come in handy when traveling so I have something to do on the plane or in the hotel room during downtime, but that's more a bonus than the point for me. Either way, your view of handhelds and their benefits is pretty fricking narrow and even if somebody does busy one out on the bus or whatever, why do you fricking care? How does it affect your life? Why does it make them look like a dork to you when they clearly don't care about what you think? What is even the point of this occupying any space in your head to wonder about who would do that or why?

      This. Like them or hate them, it has been confirmed that the Wii was so financially successful for them that they had the funds to survive not just one console flop, but two or more. They survived the WiiU pretty easily and on top of it, came back swinging hard with the Switch, so they negated the loss from the WiiU and then some. They're pretty well set to weather a few more storms, if they even come at all.

      It's true, it's a serious threat in the long run. For many people, the Steam Deck and its "clones" will completely replace portable consoles, just like PCs replaced their home consoles. It may seem absurd now, but saying "Steam will be bigger than PlayStation and Xbox combined" was even more ridiculous 15 years ago.

      I'm one of these people. My last console was the PS3, I never felt the need to buy another one after I built my first gaming PC in 2009.
      Up until now, I bought every single portable Nintendo console, from the Game Boy Color to the Switch. Will I buy the Switch 2, now that the Deck exists? Probably not.

      So was Sony before the PS3.

          Also, exclusives aren't as important as you believe: the Wii U had a ton of great exclusives and no one cared. The reason the Switch is selling so much is because it's a cute, portable console you can even connect to your TV. The same library on a more "traditional" console hardware would've failed just as hard as the Wii U.
          >Anon, it's still ridiculous considering they're the smallest of the major gaming companies.

            Which they didn't. 10 years ago both downsized their production of exclusives and pushed third party games to the forefront starting this nonsense with timed exclusives.
            >Also, exclusives aren't as important as you believe:
            No they're the single biggest selling point for a console which again is why timed exclusives became a thing 10 years ago.
            >the Wii U had a ton of great exclusives and no one cared
            Because the wii u did not in fact have a ton of great exclusives, its best sellers were Mario Kart, smash, NSMBU and Splatoon
            Everything else failed because of their generally poor quality and the fact that the majority were worse rehashes of existing games like Kirby rainbow curse being a worse canvas curse. Needless to say the wii u didn't have the games or quality people wanted from it. People even opted to buy smash in 3ds because it was a considerably better game than the wii u version.
            On that note if you want a better example of the importance of exclusives the 3ds was was failing hard in its first year until pokemon released and saved it from the same early grave the wii u was dropped into.
            Then there was also the marketing of the wii u itself, it was so bad no one knew what it was.
            >The reason the Switch is selling so much is because it's a cute, portable console
            Also false, the reason the switch is selling is because its the only place you can get Nintendo's games and they've upped the quality drastically since the wii u.
            >The same library on a more "traditional" console hardware would've failed just as hard as the Wii U.
            No. Again, games and marketing are the two most important factors here, portability is simply a bonus.
            >Valve as a company is smaller than >Sony and Microsoft. Steam as a platform is bigger than PlayStation and Xbox.

        I'd say it's the birth of a new bogeyman rather than a new Schizo. After all everyone in a Nintendo thread has been called Ericschizo at one point.

                Ganker has an unhealthy hatred of remakes, sometimes the QoL wins out over moronic decisions about visuals or sound design. Of course when all you do is see pictures, it's easy to think that the Remaster has nothing to offer.

                It's pretty much the same game only the original looks better. Live a live on the other hand is the exact opposite in that it retains the original aesthetic but makes it look better.

                DeS Remaster stans are my litmus test for invalid opinions. Enjoy your McDonald's Souls as Interpreted by Burgerpoint since your criteria for it looking better is framerate and resolution and not art design.

      We already went through this, there are no alliances in the console war space. Any thoughts about it being the case were proven false, in the case of Nintendo - Microsoft and now more recently up until the release of the Steam Deck, Nintendo and PC.

        Of course there are, pc, Nintendo and xbox players all have no qualms with each other. In fact there's a heavy overlap between pc and Nintendo and this was all proven during the release of the steam deck where both attempted to talk about it but couldn't because a certain group used it as an anti-nintendo shitposting tool.

                Anon, the first party games are what people buy Nintendo systems for with third party games being tertiary add ons so to speak. Those first party games cause people to buy more third party games between first party releases which is why you see higher third party sales on the switch than on pc.
                It has nothing to do with portability.

        You're thinking about it wrong. While Nintendo may have "flopped" in terms of sales for the system itself, Nintendo also provides lots of other products that the cultists are happy to throw their money away on like Amiibos, Nintendo Online + Expansion pack, etc. which keeps them out of the red.

          Remember subs, microtransactions and merch make up less than 15% of their revenue.

            I don't disagree with your sentiment because I don't know in detail about it but I fail to see how that diagram demonstrates that any of that extra stuff flopped. None of the values are negative and the values are presumably merely revenue, as opposed to net revenue, which makes it unclear which segment is the flop.

            Yeah, it's a PC but you have to go off the steam plantation and into desktop mode to get the experience you're talking about. The UI is way more streamlined than even big picture mode. It's full on moron proof. I would know, I have one. It feels like a console. The only part that doesn't feel like a console is the control you have over stuff like TDP and refresh rate, but even that is contained in an extremely simple, user friendly menu.

                If you have all the free time in the world - yes. Probably true.
                But for example I was trying out some older games from steam library recently, half of them couldn't understand your regular xbox360 controller from the go. Or had other issues, you still needed to fix here and there. Didn't take much time, but it builds up fast.
                When I want to rest, I don't play on PC, cause I work at it. There are various reasons why PC is not perfect for everyone despite having some advantages.

      It's because the hate comes from jealousy and insecurity.

    I love Nintendo and consider myself a Nintendo fan but the replies to that tweet make me embarrassed.
    I'm happy for the Steam Deck because I get to play all non-Switch Nintendo games at their highest quality on a handheld, and hopefully developments to Yuzu will make more Switch games perform at a playable level in the coming years.
    Even Nintendo diehards who aren't interested in the Deck should be happy. Up until now Nintendo has been dominating this niche with no incentive to improve. Now having a competitor, they're forced to make greater efforts to improve their next round of hardware and/or lower their prices. The Deck is a win for everyone.

              Yes, thank you for proving my point.

              >Irrational hatred
              Is it really irrational to hate a company that sells you subscription based N64 ROMs that run worse than they do on my hacked Vita, pull Mario games from the shops after 6 months like they're licensed time exclusives and not their own IPs, or still can't implement basic features that even the DS/3DS had a decade ago?
              Seems like pretty rational to me.

              It's very, very irrational not the point where you've convinced yourself that there's a good N64 emulator for vita.
              In any case the point is that people like me dislike these things but take it on a case by case basis not only for Nintendo but every company while people like you see one fault and decide to completely deem something as the absolute worst thing in existence, everything in your life works in extremes.

                The implication is that the vita emulator is better when the reality is that it is currently the worst N64 emulator to date while the NSO one after the updates is now one of the better ones.

                Vita emulator is better though. In fact every single NES, SNES and N64 game runs better on the Vita than whatever third rate emulator they have you play a sub fee for on the Switch, and on top of that they have a ton of extra control, graphics and game settings options.

                Here's your first mistake, your inability to comprehend basic English led you to believe that what I said didn't make sense when in reality you can see that I was referring to the one line that was accurate in your post.
                Your second post was assuming that line had anything to do with the screenshot and not what I said about about the numerous anti Nintendo posts on the tweet. In otherwords, you can't follow a handful of sentences.
                >3. I clarify by posting a screenshot of the comment I was referring to.
                >4. Chang thanks me for "proving his point".
                Yes because you did indeed prove that what I said was true in that the post that I singled out was the only one that existed. If you had basic reading abilities what you would have done instead was find examples of the other two, but of course they don't exist.

                And your final mistake was to call me "Chang" now we know that you're projecting as a Chinese deck shill.

            >Irrational hatred
            Is it really irrational to hate a company that sells you subscription based N64 ROMs that run worse than they do on my hacked Vita, pull Mario games from the shops after 6 months like they're licensed time exclusives and not their own IPs, or still can't implement basic features that even the DS/3DS had a decade ago?
            Seems like pretty rational to me.

                English isn't your first language is it.
                The screenshot you posted is correct they are different machines that can't be compared and storage is definitely an issue unless you plan to play indies exclusively since AA and AAA games have large file sizes especially compared to console and no developer is going to optimize for the deck.

                These numbers line up with my experience, so where is the lie? I know switch have 4.3k mAh battery and the only source about deck battery I found say 5.2k mAh.

                What are these twitter trannies talking about? I'm usually lucky to get over 3 1/2 hours in most games. You can only get battery life over 5 in old ass games like oblivion. The SoC can only pull like 3W total to get that kind of battery life. Any more than that and the time rapidly goes down.

        By whose authority can you not compare the two? Give a single good reason why people should be barred from comparing two pieces of hardware with similar formats, similar layout and similar use-cases.

          Simple, because they're two different systems with two different objectives.

            Different systems are always compared. Nobody is comparing the same system to itself.
            >wo different objectives
            Demonstrably false. Both are advertised as portable gaming devices. Both have the objective of allowing people to play their games anywhere in a handheld format.

              Yes but that doesn't make it any less ridiculous for example you can't compare a dedicated gaming machine such as the switch with a multimedia machine like the ps5.
              They both exist in different worlds, and it's like comparing a high quality drill with a cheap, all purpose tool kit you can buy for 5 dollars that only has the basic screw drivers and pliers.
              >Both are advertised as portable gaming devices.
              False, the deck is advertised as a PC first and a gaming machine second.

                Besides the obvious fact that a large portion of the hardware real estate is dedicated to game controls, the advertising is all about games. This is the thumbnail for their initial announcement.

                They refer to it as a PC exactly once, and specify it as a gaming PC.
                Every part of the video is describing how it plays games, the controls it has to play games with, and what games you can play.
                It has never been described as a PC first and gaming device second in any official advertising.

                They refer to it as a PC four times you idiot and they never call it a gaming PC but rather refer to PC Gaming.
                This is why you should have watched it before you posted.

                This is the only other mention of a PC in relation to the deck, and even here it specifies PC GAMING.
                The only other time they even say "PC" is in reference to how you can stream games from a PC.

                3 total references to PCs, two of which explicitly in relation to the Deck itself, both times specifying GAMING.

Now having a competitor, they're forced to make greater efforts to improve their next round of hardware and/or lower their prices. The Deck is a win for everyone.
