This is probably the only time Nintendo has come out of the gate with superior hardware and I actually don't give a shit, why on earth would I want to buy a steam deck that is locked behind corporate control and price gouging?

I don't give a shit how fast the scrreen refreshes or how fancy some of the features, I want a computer that can play games, I don't want a toy that is purposefully broken so I can't use it for things I want to use it for, ESPECIALLY if I drop hundreds and hundreds of dollars on it.

Nope.

I understand why you think this, but its kind of wrong. Because Nintendo has had the upper hand with hardware many times.

  1. SNES was arguably better than Genesis system
  2. N64 has much more raw power than my favorite system the PS1
  3. GameCube was stronger than PS2 and Dreamcast

And yes, I'll just wait and use my steam deck until SD2, because I also just want a computer that I can play games on.

Ah yes, console released over 30 years ago.
