Thanks for the link. I had a look and the people commenting have the same idea. What pants do you wear to be big enough to fit the switch in it comfortably so that it wont fall lut?! I need those oants as the ones i have are too small and often i feel like if i were to sot down woth swotch in my pocket i may snap it in half😂. I never saw switch as being portable as the size is beyond portability for me.
Agree exclusives is what makes switch an attractive oackage but imagine having the entire steam library with graphics that far exceeds switch and closer to console graphics minus Ray tracing. Which device out there where u can play steam library games at low to mid range pc on the go? . Why shouldn't it be made? Switch needs competition. I am sure it wont beat switch but if steam deck cam show that u can be portable with better specs and sell well, then nintendo has to carefully think about the next portable when it comes out.

Also just convenient to be able to slide it in a pocket just to carry it around the house. Not a necessity but good. The Switch is really besides the point though. Portability isn't the only reason to buy a Switch, or even probably the primary reason, which would be the exclusives. So, the portability for the Switch is more of a bonus feature in a sense. For this, there are other machines that run the exact same games, often better, so aside from portability and price, its utility is questionable. Portability is kind of the whole point. It has one job. The bigger it becomes, the less purpose it has.
Maybe it's the smallest they could make it, but then maybe the product just shouldn't be made at this point. |

I think I have normal pants. I'm a little bit overweight so maybe my pockets are bigger? The joycons stick out sometimes, but I can take those off.
I think it looks like it does what it does well. I'm just wondering if there's a market for that. Steam games can be played either on desktops or laptops. Obviously there are some situations where a Steam Deck would be preferable to either option, but those situations are too narrow IMO to make it successful.
If that's true, then they shouldn't make it. If it's not going to be popular enough to make a profit. I could of course be wrong. But, I don't see this being a competitor to the Switch. I think Valve knows it's going to be a niche product anyway based on the way they're marketing.
