The TRUTH about the Steam Deck vs. Nintendo Switch
Ever since the Steam Deck was announced, people have been trying to compare it to the Nintendo Switch. “Is the Deck a Switch Killer?” “Will it satisfy Nintendo fans who’ve been patiently waiting a Switch Pro?” “Will we ever get a third edition of the Deck?”

In reality, these two devices serve quite different markets. The Steam Deck is a consolized PC, after all. Plus, Nintendo seemingly loathes fun. So we here at Heavy Element decided we’d take a look at these two devices and compare them on a few critical metrics. This video was the result.
