Please note that this website is currently a work in progress! Lots of interesting data and statistics to come.
I hate these clickbait titles they use on YouTube , with over 100 million+ sales and growing I don't think Nintendo has anything to worry about.
I haven't even clicked the play button and this still image right here is everything I hate about the current state of YouTube. And the almighty algorithm encourages it.
✅ Random word fully capitalized and/or placed in quotation marks for "EMPHASIS"
✅ Overblown facial expression and visibly noisy background
✅ Imagery on screen implying that the point of the title is already in fact true
Kevin Kenson did it right, imo. The thumbnail has a slightly over-the-top stare but it's not the full on pearl-clutching gasp that you typically see. The title of the video is literally "Steam Deck vs. Nintendo Switch". And it's literally just that. A comparison and opinion piece on the state of the two systems' co-existence. And like most people, he arrives at the conclusion that: The Steam Deck is a more powerful handheld, but at twice the price for each system's lowest point-of-entry and given the scarcity of the Deck to this point (not to mention it lacks a lot of the ease of use of a dedicated console), of course the Switch is still a perfectly valid system and will continue to thrive for likely another few years to come.
Like /u/cabledude25 said, the Switch "ENDS" when we get the successor to the Switch. Nintendo hasn't been playing the same game as the rest of the industry for 3 generations now. And I don't see that stopping soon.
These youtubers are so late to the party, we had decks for months now.
I think switch 2 is the end of Nintendo switch.
As excited I am for the Steam Deck there is no reality in which Valve will have any effect on Nintendo's iron grip on the mobile console. Especially when their roll out capabilities are as slow as they have been.
Do I hope that the Steam Deck can flourish and become something greater, sure. But at it's current iteration it's a really cool machine at holds a niche market in the PC space alone and won't effect Nintendo in the slightest.
