Forums - Gaming Discussion - Does the Steam Deck REALLY Destroy the Switch?

Steam Deck was never going to be a Switch killer, it is fundamentally a niche device for enthusiasts, not a mainstream hit like the Switch is.
As of the latest report, Steam Deck sold 1.62m by the end of 2022; by the same date, Switch had sold more than 120 million.

Anyone who seriously thought the Deck would pose a threat to Nintendo was drinking too much of the coolaid.

Fun fact, while the phrase drinking the Kool-aid was popularized after the Jonestown cult mass suicide, where cultists drank a poisoned beverage to commit suicide, the beverage in question was not actually Kool-aid, but a generic version called Flavor-aid. Kind of think if I was going to kill myself I would want my last beverage to be something better than Kool-aid or Flavor-aid, but that's just me.

Cheap dogmatic bastards.



I describe myself as a little dose of toxic masculinity.
