The Steam Deck (and all future iterations, from Valve and others) will open up stationary and mobile gaming to wider audiences and will have access to games that the Switch (at least this version) will not have as well as have higher fidelity versions of games that they do. While they won't have Nintendo games... the Steam Deck will have access to all the major indie games, all major 3rd party games from the world over and first party titles from Sony and Microsoft, which, based on the last couple gens, are experiencing a surge in their importance (like Minecraft and Spiderman). Its beneficial to Sony and Microsoft as its another avenue to sell their games without alienating their own userbases for their own more powerful consoles or a more powerful PC. If I was looking to play say Doom Eternal on the go, why would I get the Switch version if now I can get the game with image quality, better framerates, free online and better price?
