I dunno what y'all are talking about, the Deck chip (Van Gogh, 7nm, Zen 2 but with Rembrandt-era SoC features, RDNA2) is "newer" than the Ampere chip (circa 2020) in the Switch 2.

don't forget mods, easy repair, easy piracy, and actually being a functional portable computer in a pinch if you have a docking station
Hell, at least I can use my steam deck as a mini PC and SSH into the thing, as well as use a mouse and full fuckin keyboard with my cheap off brand dock.
Whenever there's a multiplatform game I'm interested in I add it to my wishlist on the Switch, PS5 and Deck. I almost always end up buying it off Steam because it ends up being cheaper on it. So the Switch and PS5 have been reduced for exclusives only.
Plus, with the Steamdeck you have more games to play than just Nintendo games or old games you played years ago but have to pay more to play them again on worse hardware.
Even the 729$ Legion Go looks like a good deal compared to the Switch 2.
