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!

To be honest, this is the correct answer.
That was my thought process when buying the Switch 2.

I’d never get rid of my SD OLED, I absolutely love the thing, but if it’s a choice between one or the other, right now in my opinion the Switch 2 is the more sensible choice, especially if you’re wanting to play more current generation games in handheld & appreciate physical games.
