Back in February we hit the three year mark of Valve's Steam Deck with SteamOS Linux, and as we approach the release of the public SteamOS 3 Beta for more devices, here's an updated look at the sales charts.

    The Switch is none of those things and yet still manages to sell 100x more units.

      Orange juice is nothing like apple juice, and yet both still sell

      The switch has brand recognition, loyalty from decades ago, and ease of use (for the less tech savvy).

      It has exclusives iirc, steam deck “just” has the rest.

      The switch also has coop multiplayer and a few other things going for it as well.

        Switch is more portable and also easier to dock.
