Does the Steam Deck REALLY Destroy the Switch?

Hmm, I probably should say also: I did consider the SteamDeck. I do like my toys that make lights and sound. But I didn't consider it for long. Because - SteamDeck actually is missing an important part of the appeal of Switch: playing in docked mode.

That can be fixed for less than $13 or €13:

An USB-C-HDMI cable + a wireless bluetooth controller ain't more expensive than a Switch Pro controller without a cable.

Or if you also want additional ethernet and USB ports for less than 20 bucks:

Ok, not an out-of-the-box solution, but a solution. The question remains: who is it appealing to? I get there are some. But everyone thinking Switch is selling so much more based on the Nintendo brand power which propelled the WiiU in the stratosphere is lying to themself. Maybe it is not what made the decision for me. But something is it, which leads to better perceived value for the customers. And I don't think the "hardcore" gamers find a solution here, because hardcore gamers never made up a base of 100M.
