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.

They could potentially become less niche in the coming years. Perhaps a Steam Deck 2 two or three years from now is pushed more by Valve with more advertising and it showing up in shops for example. Though the impact on the Switch 2 would still unlikely to be major due to Nintendo's IPs.

Even with more of a push, a handheld gaming PC is still just a relatively niche offering compared to a hybrid console from Nintendo. Hardly anyone is going to be dissuaded from a Switch 2 purchase by the existence of Steam Deck 2.
