Comment Switch competitor makes sense (Score 2) 59
Nintendo Switch was the best-selling console in terms of units and dollar sales for December 2020 and the full year. The Switch's annual dollar sales in 2020 were the second highest for any platform in US history, only trailing 2008 when the sales of the Wii were higher. https://www.gamespot.com/artic... So it makes complete sense for Steam to try to capture a fraction of that market. The Switch’s hardware specs are rather potato, only playing games at 720p when playing in mobile mode. Even a 5 year old low end gtx 1060 could play every game on the market at 1080p, so it makes sense to make a portable PC console with low end specs for a low price that would sell very well.
