Except for Nintendo, they’re still just doing what they’ve been doing for the last 20 years, releasing consoles with outdated hardware and relying on gimmicks to sell them, at this point they’re not even trying to compete anymore, Valve is a stronger competitor for Microsoft and Sony than Nintendo nowadays.
Still, raw processing power comparatively it is underpowered, can’t push beyond 1080p for example, which is fine for Nintendo games because they make games with that limitation in mind, third party switch games are a lot more hit or miss, especially ports of pc games.
Compared to even cell phones the switch is laughably underpowered in the year 2024.
Not saying it can’t be useful or enjoyable, just gotta face facts about what the device is lol.
Steam deck is starting to eat their lunch I think.

Nintendo has always been the king of handheld for as long as handheld gaming has been a thing.
I’d put a lot of money on them viewing Valve as their biggest threat currently.
Yeah, I loved my switch when I first got it, but have hardly touched it since I got my steamdeck.
But the switch isn’t just an underpowered console… It’s a handheld with an HDMI port
Underpowered gimmick yeah
Our family uses it all the time for Smash Bros, Mario Kart, or other party games.
I would not have bought a Switch if it didn’t have console mode.
