      Since the steam deck 2 will make use of the amazing gains, I wonder if people will really start considering the Deck as an alternative to Switch 2. There’s already a TON of overlap in the indy game scene. SO many of those release on both Steam and Switch.

      Obviously the hardcore Nintendo IP fans will stick with Switch 2, but outside of that … ???

      The Deck has really been a game changer!

      I hope those rumors are true! Those RDNA 3 performance gains could do wonders for the handheld PC market as well.
