The issue is that Sony is lacking in exclusives too, but they’re still the best option for people who are afraid of PC.
If you own a PC there’s little incentive to buy either Sony/MS console. You’ll likely end up with a PC+Nintendo setup in order to play the only platform that actually pumps out consistent unique exclusives that aren’t also on PC.
Unless you’re okay with pirating, then you’ll probably only have a Steam Deck or PC. But I don’t consider piracy a valid part of the conversation since most consumers are not going to be comfortable with that. Of course it has to be mentioned before the gotcha replies flood in all “I play Nintendo on my Deck.” Yes, we know. That’s not the point. You’re also not playing online games like Splatoon.
I digress, something people fail to realize about the Steam Deck is that - despite being a handheld - it’s competing way more with the PS5 than the Switch.
