Why would anybody buy a switch when you can have a Steam Deck? It is better in every conceivable way.
The Switch starts at a lower price point, it's available at Walmart, it's more durable for the average child to handle, and Mario/Pokemon/Zelda are what someone like Warren Buffet might call a "brand moat", where nothing's really going to interfere with that business model.
You can play Mario/Pokemon/Zelda on the Deck.
Downvote all you want cucks, it doesn't make it any less true.
You can't just pop a cartridge in or head to the eShop and download it. Most people don't want to research and figure out emulators.
