In r/Steam and r/NintendoSwitch, the PC versus handheld console decision centers on total cost, sales, and performance expectations, with Steam Deck availability and the rumored Steam Machine timeline influencing what people buy next.
I can see the appeal of the Switch 2 to some extent, but the PC sales arent slightly better, theyre significantly better.
Ram crisis is unfortunate though.
A shame steam deck is mainly out of stock and Steam Machine is coming who knows when.
You can’t expect to compare Switch 2 to a home console and expect parity just like you can’t compare Steam Deck to a PC.
How is ANYONE supposed to afford a PC at this rate?
The main drawbacks are losing out on some AAA and indie titles, no early access, and slightly better sales.
Even if steammachine comes at a 2000$ tag, over 20 games bought on nintendo, you will start loosing money
my PC is getting old, so I was looking to get into portable and TV gaming.
the PC sales arent slightly better, theyre significantly better.
the common opinion of "Switch ports are far more expensive and much worse than other platforms" may not necessarily be true anymore.
