I am very glad it exists. I may have a problem with owning handhelds. I am the perfect mark for this stuff. I have multiple upcoming boutique handheld PCs I’m actively trying not to overspend on.
But they are competitors. If anything, they are about as similar as they’ve ever been, honestly.
I’m only reacting to they weird Valve mythmaking that presents them as being extremely successful in the meme up top. Yes, the Deck is a very popular PC handheld, it is supposed to account for half-ish of the entire segment and it’s been very well priced for what it is, but it isn’t a runaway hit in the large scheme of the game industry and game hardware manufacturing.
