minus-squareHobbitFoot @thelemmy.clublinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·3 hours agoThe Switch was Nintendo giving up the spec race entirely to create an ok console and good handheld device. The Steam Deck copied the design ethos of the Switch. It is an ok gaming PC that is great for mobile gaming. A Steam console would be slightly different, but I could see it doing well, especially if it can become an entertainment center.

Although the Deck does struggle a bit with super high-end games, so a similar thing with beefier hardware could fill a niche there I guess?
