> The Switch and the next iteration will continue to offer a just works experience which is what most people want.
you say that like there weren't a ton of problems with the switch when it released. Reports of overheating, joycon random disconnects, joycon drift, and dock scratches were enough to make me skip over the system at launch and hold off for the next (hopefully XL) version. Now that it's been so long without an XL version, and the drift and overheating are still an issue (it's unclear how big a problem the scratches are now) I'm really considering just getting the steam deck instead. In terms of performance it looks like the steam deck has the switch beat.
> But it really is stark to play these two devices and see the Steam Deck handily run all but the most taxing modern games at 60 frames per second (or better), while the Switch can't reliably play Batman: Arkham Knight, a game designed for last-gen consoles that released in 2015.

I agree that most people don't want to bother with downloading roms and playing with settings, but I don't think you can call the switch a "just works experience" either.
