If someone has a switch, gifting a steam deck isn't an upgrade necessarily. You're giving them a platform that can't play most of the games they probably love. Not because of specs of course. A switch 2 is actually an upgrade. Almost all of their current games will run better and they'll be able to play more demanding switch 2 only games as they continue to trickle out.

I should have mentioned current game play is skewed more toward steam on pc than switch. I'm definitely not getting the impression that the switch games are loved.

I have a Switch 1 and would love to get a Steam Deck in the near future. If there is ever a new mainline Mario 3D game I might consider getting the Switch 2 but for now there is no reason for me to get it. I rather want to play my Indie games Steam collection but on the couch.

I have both, and if they already have a good steam library I’d definitely go with the steam deck for them. They’ll immediately have a bunch of games to play on it (and synced game progress).
