Steamdeck vs Switch. Saw so many bad takes when it launched.

Yeah the whole "Steam Deck will be the Switch killer" stuff was quite silly; as it turned out, Steam Deck sales were a tiny fraction of Switch, as PC handhelds are simply not that appealing to the mass market audience.

The Steam Deck is basically a hobby project for Valve. They've also been pretty quiet on sales numbers. If Steam Deck were selling in numbers comparable to Switch, Game Boy, or even the Vita, Gabe Newell would be screaming it from his rooftop. And Steam Deck makes up something like 66 percent of the handheld PC market from what I've read. 

I own a Deck, and I've turned it into a decent retro machine, mostly for computer platforms that have fallen into obscurity, like the Atari 8-bit line, which I had when I was a kid, as well as a few RPG gems like Vay. For something like Cyberpunk, it doesn't really cut it, and I've heard enough good things about Cyberpunk for Switch 2 that I will probably pick it up.
