There might be a bit more of an rush then it seems,
as for many causal players the Steam Deck (and alternatives to it) are quite a viable alternative for playing many of the games on the Switch which are not exclusives.
In the end we will need to see how the Steam Deck plays out.
But for 2022 the power of the Switch is just very very low. It was still acceptable when the switch came out but by now it's starting to hurt.
This won't matter for targeting children.
But children don't buy consoles their parents do.
And a lot of young adults and adults did buy it too without it involving children.
So if they take to long, they may permanently lose marked share due to the Switch less being an option for (successfully) Indy games in the future.
Due to switching the Games I causally play I'm now kinda regretting not to have per-ordered a Steam Deck. The Switch has the games I wanna play and they run, but not always fully fluent.
