Steam Deck is great, but you can’t walk into Walmart and buy one

    I suspect it’s more that the time people can and do spend playing phone games has just about zero overlap with PC games. You play phone games while on the bus or on the toilet, you play PC games while at home behind your desk.

        I think a huge reason so many people with a Steam Deck also have a Switch is that the Switch had a 5 year head start. Hades did really well on Switch, but I can’t imagine anyone choosing that version of the game if they had a Steam Deck, and the same applies to Doom, The Witcher 3, etc. I have a Switch and a Steam Deck, but I haven’t used one of those machines in years.

      Some people spend a lot of time, money in mobile games.

      Occam’s Razor. I think it’s just the “default device” and placed in front of their eyes, so it’s what most people choose?
