Comment on There's a reason we aren't as harsh on the Steam Deck. Actually, a couple.

  … and you have to pay for PS Plus repetitively to play games with friends.

  I feel like that’s cherry picking, like I’m comparing the cheapest Dutch webshop price for a new PS5 and it’s € 549,99 vs the Steam Deck which is only purchasable through Valve’s store for… € 419?

  Wait why tf do people buy PS5’s here‽

    I haven’t even picked the LCD 256GB SD…just didn’t pick the option with max storage.

    But anyway. This meme is very specific and it is just targeting a minority who would be choosing between a high end console to play at the sofa on the big screen and a handheld to play anywhere.

    I think the main SD target is people who want a handheld, and that group of people generally choose between SD or Nintendo Switch and for many (including me) SD is the preference.

      I get that but damn, between a Switch or SD who’d choose for a PS5?

      I personally already have a Switch (since launch), so many great games on it, which dimimishes the SD’s selling point for me. Those two really do thread in the same waters.

        Yeah and recently got an argument with someone saying that the SD was no competitor for the switch.

        In my opinion both are directly trying to fill a market where you can play games anywhere.
