@neme In France pre ordering is 439,99€ I wished 100€ less... Will wait for my Switch v2 to die from old age at that point.

Don’t forget the 90€ games that never go on sale

Honestly the steam deck is much better in anyway

Nintendo 90€ games are for EU now. USA will get $100+ due to tariffs, or they gonna need to reduce prices to the rest of the world. I wanna see what these greedy SOB gonna do.

@JimmyMcGill I don’t buy Nintendo exclusives, and very very few AAA games. It doesn’t matter.
Does the steam deck works flawlessly every single time? Is is a no brainer switch on and play console ?
My switch is docked 90% of the time, is the steam deck as good as a 90% TV console…?
I am not convinced, not saying steam deck is worse than switch, I just don’t know anybody with a steam deck around me.

I mean yes??

Also if you don’t buy Nintendo exclusives why do you even want a switch?

Just the savings on cost of games will make it more than worth it.

Plus you get to actually keep your games and play them in the next iterations and even on a pc or laptop if you have them.

You can buy tons of great games for ridiculously low costs, especially if you want a day or two

@JimmyMcGill Not that I want one, I already have a switch for the last 10 years.
It’s a small device, silent, that fits well next to the Tv.
Can play silly games with the child, and play my own games during the 10 minutes free time I get every two moon eclipse 🙄
