the handheld space has become a whole lot more competitive than since 2017. Steam Deck, ROG Ally, etc. certainly fill a void in the industry.

Steam Deck, ROG Ally, etc won't do much to slow Switch 2 sales, just as they did little to nothing to slow Switch 1 sales. Those are niche enthusiast devices, Switch 2 will be a mass market product with a much broader appeal.

yep. Nintendo Switch 2 fulfill a different need than Steam Deck, ROG Ally, etc. Whereas one is the cheaper (potentially less power) machine that plays Nintendo games among other things, the other devices serve more as an attempt at PC-on-the-go. Market share also exposes how little these systems will impact Switch 2 sales…3-6mil Steam Decks versus 146mil NSW units paints a pretty clear picture. Still holds that the market for gaming on-the-go has gotten (albeit marginally) more competitive than 2017, where 3DS was pretty much the only thing.
