ps4 level but a better cpu, ram and gpu architecture. Add to that, games running at 720p will look great, that way people can use the power to maintain a solid framerate.
Better ram? Sure the PS4 don't have 16gb but GDDR5...

No, it won't.Obviously this is not going to sell like those consoles. But the next switch will need to offer something better than this or at least this level of power.
Have fun playing those profits and figures, I guess.No, it won't.
I WANT it to be powerful, but Nintendo knows how to maximize profits.
I expect Steam Deck may be the best way to play many Nintendo games (unofficially) on a handheld.I don't view it as a Switch competitor tbh. It's considerably more expensive than the Switch, and it doesn't play Nintendo games.
Ok, in that case desktop and laptop gives me precisely zero value for my use case of wanting a convenient handheld I can use anywhere.I don't look at it in those terms. I look at it in terms of what gets you the best value for money.

Don't be condescending. He probably speaks better English than you do japanese or whatever.1) Learn grammar
2) Proton has very little performance cost, and in some cases games run better on it than on Windows, surprising as it sounds
3) You can install Windows and dualboot or just use those, if you want
You can install windows, that's the beauty of it.
I am touched by your concern. Oh snap, still condescending. It's a disease I swear.Don't be condescending. He probably speaks better English than you do japanese or whatever.
Things make more sense if you compare it to similar products, like Aya Neo and GPD Win 3 which are a few hundred bucks more expensive.Cheap?! The cheapest version matches the cost of a PS5 and is more than a Xbox Series S. $400 is now cheap?

My research conclusion is that it will hit PS4 level power on a handheld.
Can’t guess on any numbers but it’s definitely mostly for enthusiast core gamers like us, could be bigger if Xbox games run well on it, portable Gamepass machine, but Windows isn’t preinstalled and that’ll hurt sales from that perspective.So the Steam Deck is truly for a niche audience then? Probably like 5-10 million people possibly would want to buy this at the current prices?
Since when did mrfunsocks become a sony fan? Pretty sure you got the wrong fans mixed up there buddy.Its going to have great performance and be a great piece of hardware, you can smell the fear in the air with all the concern trolling over the last few days by sony and nintendo fans.
Next gen games will run on it
C'mon, the amount of concern threads and posts are off the charts. In this thread alone we have people telling others how they are allowed to compare the systems. Paraphrasing..."No, no, no, the deck has to be compared to the light version of the Switch. Because, you know, the dock. Therefore it's 200 dollars more and a complete rip off. (Imagines people standing and applauding)". In another thread..."People gave Nintendo shit for the screen on the original Switch but not the Deck, it's not fair!! (Imagines people passing out from such a well thought out argument)".I swear, if you really think Nintendo or Sony or their fans are worried about this, you're absolutely delusional.
Concerns seems to come from all directions. It got me thinking though, Playstation fans should be excited now that Sony is releasing more Playstation ports on PC and don’t care if PC gets a day 1 release. Portable Horizon Zero Dawn and Kena!Since when did mrfunsocks become a sony fan? Pretty sure you got the wrong fans mixed up there buddy.
Can I use PS5/XSS with a screen and handheld, install windows 10 and/or Linux and enjoy every pc game + emulation?Cheap?! The cheapest version matches the cost of a PS5 and is more than a Xbox Series S. $400 is now cheap?
English is not my first language and this is written on a smartphone that wants to Auto correct it into a Similar sounding german Word. But feel free to continue being a grammer flamer in an international forum.
If you dual Boot Windows u probably have the best Indication for the Performance already, the specs, because your somewhat tech savy.
Your first post is borderline incomprehensible whereas this specific reply is clearly understandable. First language or not, you have just shown that with a bit more effort, you are able to competently write in English so that we can read you without having the urge to pierce our eyes with a screwdriver
i dont even know who mrfunsocks is, sorry friendSince when did mrfunsocks become a sony fan? Pretty sure you got the wrong fans mixed up there buddy.
DOS PC from 1995 is the real Switch Competitor.I don't view it as a Switch competitor tbh. It's considerably more expensive than the Switch, and it doesn't play Nintendo games.
Not really, PC gaming is good because its highly customisable, has the best controller/peripheral experience of any console, has the largest library by far and is the cheapest to buy and play games once you have bought the system. All indie games are PC games by default, only a subset of the library is ported to console. It's perfectly reasonable to prefer PC even if you game on a 1080p screen, exclusively use controllers and don't give a shit about anything over 30fps, it's just a better experience all around.Why do you game on PC? Cutting edge performance and M&KB controls...... This does neither when used as a handheld.

I just am going to get it to play all of my older PC games in my Steam library along with a few new AAA games and a bunch of new indies and early access games.I don't view it as a Switch competitor tbh. It's considerably more expensive than the Switch, and it doesn't play Nintendo games.
For what it offers, it is cheap - its closest competitors on the market are weaker perf-wise while costing two to three times as much.No, but lets not act like this device is cheap either.
Don't think you are the target audience, then.I don't look at it in those terms. I look at it in terms of what gets you the best value for money.
The Steam Deck is not only stomping the Switch, it also smokes the current handheld gaming PC competition, the GDP Win 3/Max.I think the funnier part has been the PC Master Racers trying to flex on a Nintendo system that came out in 2017.
It's reasonably priced for what it is. You can't compare it to the price of a PS5 anymore than you can an iPhone, completely different product category.No, but lets not act like this device is cheap either.
You ok, bud?Ur Ranning the games native on Windows. The was they are Designed. Steam Deck User proton as a Layer for their linux base to run These games. Thetr will always be some Performance be left on the table.
I think steamdeck might be a bit fester but not massivly. Have mine on preorder. I think it will be great Hardware.
I hope the next Switch will, but no, it really doesn't.Obviously this is not going to sell like those consoles. But the next switch will need to offer something better than this or at least this level of power.
The Steamdeck beats the GTX1060 doesn't it?that's a myth, there is more people gaming on budget systems than people playing on high end systems. The most popular gpu on steam is the gtx 1060.
With games running at 720 you'll get more performance than a 1060 at 1080p, you gotta see everything from a "it's a handheld with a 720p screen" perspectiveThe Steamdeck beats the GTX1060 doesn't it?
Is that legal?
Or maybe in Linux it performs better because is running less crap in the background. In any case, Steam Deck is open to install Windows there.Ur Ranning the games native on Windows.

You don't need a dock for Steam Deck. You can connect it directly to a display using a USB-C to HDMI cable, or to charge it via USB-C connected to any standard smarphone charger. You can use a USB hub to connect multiple things, or if desired to buy any 3rd party dock.We don't know how much the dock will cost. It's most comparable to the Switch Lite, exclusively used for handheld gaming. The Switch Lite is 200 bucks cheaper.
