The Switch starts at a lower price point, it’s available at Walmart, it’s more durable for the average child to handle, and Mario/Pokemon/Zelda are what someone like Warren Buffet might call a “brand moat”, where nothing’s really going to interfere with that business model.
While i agree, the steam deck is not only a great device but an alternative to piracy for me. I haven’t pirated a game that’s available on steam more than a handful of times and only once i didn’t buy it afterwards. With a resurrection of the demo now, I’ll play before i buy like the old days.

You can play Mario/Pokemon/Zelda on the Deck.
Downvote all you want cucks, it doesn’t make it any less true.
You can do a lot of things by pirating. Most people aren’t interested in loading a Switch emulator and downloading roms.
You can’t just pop a cartridge in or head to the eShop and download it. Most people don’t want to research and figure out emulators.
