Steam Deck has a tiny install base.

Switch 2 does not.

I'm mostly a PC gamer but let's be real here.

Though, to be fair, my kids steal my Steam Deck from me more often than I try to get the Switch from them. The family share features of the Switch leave a lot to be desired.
That doesn't change the reality that the Steam Deck is a niche device.

I hope that changes though.

People rarely buy a platform for the platform, they buy the platform to do the thing they want to do. A game is just a genre of software.

It is far, far better to have tons of high quality software available for a platform, than to have an amazing platform, but a limited choice of software.
