Does the Steam Deck REALLY Destroy the Switch?

Steam Deck - 2022 at $399/$649

It would be laughable to extreme levels if Steam Deck wasn't much more powerful than Switch and didn't come with a baked-in software library.

Nintendo Switch - early 2017 at $299
Nintendo Switch OLED - late 2021 at $349

It would be laughable to extreme levels if Switch OLED wasn't much more powerful than Switch... oh wait, it isn't.

The Switch OLED has a 2015 chip in it. The Steam Deck has a much newer chip in it. Did you forget about the chip shortages? There was zero business incentive to make it more powerful. It's already less profitable than the v2 Switch and the Lite.

Do you think they are required to release a more powerful Switch model like a Switch pro?
