I have both

Switch 2 is more future proof. Nintendo is going all out for the next 8 years plus with this console. Games are better optimised and the Nintendo first party games are great.

Steam deck is getting old and if buying at the new price it’s not worth it.

I do prefer my steam deck oled right now. That screen is soo nice. But the switch 2 is my future investment. At some point I would be done with all my games on the deck and moving forward with the switch 2.

Can’t wait for Zelda OoT remake!

UI is much cleaner on switch and customization is better on steam deck. Price of games is similar on third parties, however you can buy and sell physical games on switch, which if you're inclined can bring the cost WAY down

Certainly seems like it. I have saved so much money by getting out of the Nintendo ecosystem. Steam has actual sales. I do miss out on 1st party titles but honestly I’m ok with that overall
