After Switch 2 reveal let me introduce you to PC handhelds

I dont have one yet, but I know people who have one.
And yet you claim Switch 2 will have an emulator within "the first or second year"
What is it now? Who is coding that mythical Switch 2 emu when Nintendo shuts those down?
So you admit it, and yet you make claims based on non existant knowledge of how emulation works?
Those platforms had the same architecture as PC and yet they still took years to get emulated well! How can that be?
See my point above - just because something is similar doesnt mean its easier to emulate!
It is simply wishful thinking that a Switch 2 emu will appear any time soon just so you can pirate games.

The Switch 1 is kicking right now the ass of the Steam deck with worse graphics… This is irrelevant.

Switch 2 is going to absolutely kerb stomp SteamDeck

How many steam decks are there out there now ?
And will Nintendo pass that total, in 3 months ? By Xmas ?
Nothing against steam deck, but I think Nintendo just rung last orders in the portable space, even if the switch 2 doesn't explode. it will still replace the original switch and sell bucket loads
And I know this thread is about graphics, but to be honest. That's not an area Nintendo competes in (the switch 2 will set the bar I think, for the next gen of handhelds)

Nobody should buy a Steam Deck 1 right now, wait for Steam Deck 2 or buy Switch 2. You know anything else is bad advice.
Also there is safety in numbers. Never buy obscure low selling shit or you will run into all kinds of problems that are rarely mentioned online. There is safety in numbers. How many copies do you think the Steam Deck has sold?
The final reason is because the Steam Deck only has computer games which after often shitty afterthought ports or stutter-fests due to obscure graphical issues in the devs software engine, Nintendo has Nintendo games and really need no introduction. The choice is simple.
Also, Steam Deck is actually of course a replica of...guess what...

Switch 2 definitely looks way better here, but as others have said, we'll have to see if these are bullshots.
Will be fun to see real comparison videos after the Switch 2 releases.

Gentlemen, we can rebuild it. We have the capability to make the world's first enhanced store. Steam will be that store. Better than it was before.

Bad comparisons. Not the same locations plus Switch 2 pics may be bullshots.

Too early to say definitively, however it might well be that in select titles, the optimization done by the devs for Nintendos SKU will result in better visuals at least. However, the Deck 2 is just around the corner and will probably smoke the Switch 2 in terms of performance.

Do you know you can play all the games you listed in the Steam deck right?

You don't need a dock on Deck.

OP, are you trying to tell me that the SteamDeck is so poor quality that even the overlay doesn't render at a decent res? Or is the truth that you pulled some stills from YouTube footage and tried to pass them off as an accurate representation?
If you don't want to be seen as entirely disingenuous or a console war troll I suggest that you find more accurate representations of SD. Source stills or videos. And even then be aware of the bullshot possibility on the NS2 side.

That was my immediate reaction too.
Yes, the Switch 2 versions look better, but it's not exactly an apples to apples comparison.

The Deck images are compressed as hell.

All images were screencapped from YouTube videos, Steam Deck images were sharpened in Photoshop since the IQ of those images was mostly sub-800p.

Definitely better than the Deck, expected though... 2022 tiny GPU vs 2022 massive Nvidia one.

careful OP!
Better spend $550 (USD) for the oled deck which also supports HDR!
and get 800p, 90hz display without any VRR
(joking aside - target demographics for both are different. there is some overlap as they are handhelds but its a small, small percentage. Steam deck still hasn't caught up to the PS Vita in terms of hardware sales and Switch is a more mass market product. Switch 2 fares pretty nicely all things considered)

So you know the specs ?
Because devs can still develops it as long as they don't make noise about it. Then release it and after that get and C&D from Nintendo. The emulator will still be out on the internet. Are you new to this stuff or what ?
Maybe, just MAYBE, because PS4 was too powerful of a system to be emulated correctly until very recently by CPUs ? Are you sure you're even a developer ? You seem completely ignorant on the matter. You know that software emulation requires much more power than the emulated system originally has ?
How weird that you have no argument on the specs part...
The more I'm talking to you the more you seem full of shit.

1. I don't want to bother having to configure shit, I pay so the games should run properly and I shouldn't have to finish the developers' job.Guys, I get it if you are a hardcore Nintendo fan, but at least be honest and don't put things such as "games optimized for the platform", "portability", etc. PC handhelds - Steam Deck, ROG Ally X, Lenovo Legion - do all this and much better:
1. They allow to tweak the graphics settings and framerate if you want to prioritise graphics / fps / battery life, something you cannot do on the Switch and Switch 2
2. You are guaranteed endless backwards compatibility, older games will cost you nothing to "upgrade" and will play better as components get upgraded
3. Steam CD-Keys cost pennies compared even to Steam Sales ; handhelds running Windows give you the ability to subscribe to Game Pass
4. No paid online, duh
2. Is someone going to come and upgrade the components inside my PC brick ? Because otherwise nothing is going to happen unless I buy a new one. So same situation as a console.
3. I buy physical games, that actually have the game on the support. How do I do this with your PC brick ?
4. I don't play online.

- Windows in handhelds is what the USA used in Guantanamo.
- Who tf want to tweak the graphics in a game?
- If you have endless backwards compatibility go play Warhammer: Dark Omen in your Deck.
- Free online and sales? Not my problem if you're a peasant but then don't come complaining about a bad port that cost you pennies.

I would have skipped the Switch 2, but my Switch is dying and I need access to my library (XC1,2,3,X). If Nintendo did the retarded thing like Sony/MS and released their games on Steam, I would not even think about purchasing the Switch 2.Guys, I get it if you are a hardcore Nintendo fan, but at least be honest and don't put things such as "games optimized for the platform", "portability", etc. PC handhelds - Steam Deck, ROG Ally X, Lenovo Legion - do all this and much better:

I've literally seen my brother today struggle the entire afternoon because a game on his Steam Deck decided to not start anymore without any understandable reason, typical PC gaming shit lol
Also, this thing used full power last like 1hr of battery life or less, so you are going to play games in portable at lower setting anyway.
I'm not saying Steam Deck is not an awesome piece of hardware, but it really have lot of problems too and is not comparable to take a console and play for people that have no time or energy to deal with all the PC shit.

At least the deck is actually comfortable to hold out of the box.
By the time you've added skull and Co grips to the switch you're looking at similar profiles.
?
They're already available.

Yeah, it's always the most random shit with Steam Deck. Tried playing Fallout 3 and it would crash constantly. Eventually said fuck it and played the game on my Xbox. Now I'm in one of my "fuck PC gaming" moods.
