You'll never be short of games to play on the Steam Deck as Valve's handheld passes an impressive number of well-optimized titles.

I don’t think anyone really cares though. People buy Nintendo consoles for Nintendo games.

I own both. I prefer the switch to play games with my daughter. I’m also getting rid of the Steam Deck because I tend to only play casual games on it. I’ve now bought a gaming laptop (mainly for editing photos and recording music) which is a way better form factor for me. The Steam Deck is amazing though and I see how it is the perfect machine for many people.

Let’s be honest, most deck owners won’t play more than ten games on their deck. And it won’t be any of the thousand one star rated games on steam

Not sure what you’re getting at. Even if we go with your number, for many people, the 10 games they’ll play will be different, which is where the wide selection comes in.

What I’m getting at is Nintendo has a higher bar for quality. Steam is just a huge tent.

Hmm, do games on the Switch have ratings?

Also, just because there are low quality games on Steam, doesn’t mean that there are less high quality games on it that on the Switch. I’d be very interested in numbers to back a claim that there are more high quality games on the Switch than on the Steam Deck.

Also, how do you know Nintendo has a higher bar for quality? Could it be that there are less game developers for the Switch than for Steam?
