$600 <-> prolly three fiddy
Not sure why this is getting down votes. Price is the key factor most parents look at, and most people who aren't into technology probably don't know what the steam deck is or know what "gaming on Linux" means. That is what is stopping a good friend of mine. Price is a huge factor, but the intimidation from lack of knowledge is just as big
It's getting down voted because it's not $600 it's $400. Which is exactly how much the switch costed at launch. Well not exactly. The switch cost money to play online. So it's actually cheaper
Additionally you can get the games much cheaper. Steam games are normally much cheaper than the Nintendo closed store. You also have Hero launcher which allows you Epic And Gog games. Epic gifts every week a new game. That alone is more than most switch players will own.
