The base SteamDeck doesn't have an OLED screen and is still more expensive than the Switch OLED. As for the price of the Switch 2, it's a well-known and documented practice that console manufacturers sell them at a loss and make back the profits in games. If anything, you're the one spewing misinformation.

The base steam deck blows the OLED switch out of the water specs-wise on everything other than the screen. Nothing I've said is untrue, the relevant top comment is pure speculation at best.

blablabla specs-wise

See? This is what I mean by disconnected from the real world. Next you're gonna tell me how open source allows you to unlock the full potential of the Steamdeck's hardware.

Brother, you literally said the Switch 2 is not gonna be around 350 USD. You have exactly as much evidence of that as the relevant top comment has that it will be. The difference is that only your comment was serious.
