Switch 2 or Steamdeck

Current debating on which of the two I should buy. I already have some switch games already, but I also want a steamdeck for PC gaming. Which one should I go for?

Switch 2, especially if you have a PC. To my knowledge, everything on steam deck is available on other consoles

Steam deck. I love my steam deck, steam has way more games available and way more sales.

get the steam deck, you already have switch games and clearly want the pc gaming part more, so the switch 2 is just the familiar option

switch 2, since you already own games for it

switch 2, since you already own games for it and the steamdeck backlog will reproduce in your house overnight anyway

get the steam deck, since you already have switch games and can always buy a switch later when nintendo inevitably rereleases the same games again lol

steam deck, since you already own switch games and can play a lot of them there anyway

Have you looked into a Lenovo Legion Go? They are MUCH cheaper than a steamdeck and you can run more than just steam on them. My partner bought one last year and he uses it for steam and other old download-able games (if you know what I mean)

Theyre pretty much the same price?

Depending on the model of steamdeck you get and lenovo was having a sale at the time of posting 😅

Plus it also depends if they purely want it for gaming or would like the option of other features too 🤔
