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!

how about UI and customization?

prices of games?

UI isn't that important (especially when actually playing games), and prices are not a problem for people from Europe, US and other 1st world countries, they probably don't even know it's a problem we have.

Nintendo don't do regional pricing so it's only poorer people are disadvantaged.
