    It feels like Nintendo is a lot like apple. It doesn’t matter if it’s a worse product than their competitors, their users have accepted the walled garden wholly.

      Gotta love the catharsis of emulating Nintendo’s flagships on competing products, though. Hard to do that for Apple’s hardware (although less relevant).

    Nintendo…not even pirated. I refuse to even contribute to their popularity given their litigiousness and patent bullshittery.

      I’m glad money is of no concern for you but one device costs twice as much as the other :)

        That’s a really weirdly passive aggressive way to respond. I don’t want either of these devices, but you posted a shit article about nothing.

        switch 2 games are much more expensive than games on pc, plus i get access to my entire library with the a pc handheld versus just my switch library.

        the rog ally x is overpriced imo, for the price of a rog ally x you can get both a steamdeck and a switch 2.

    We’ve reached the point of diminishing returns on hardware. IMO, anything that can’t run on Switch 2 probably deserves to be scaled back anyway.

    One is an open ecosystem of decades worth of games, especially with the emulated ones and the other is a walled garden of over-priced games. Yeah, I am sticking to my steam deck.
