$450 is absurd. I'll buy a steamdeck before I touch a Switch 2.

Yeah, if the Switch was more than just a Nintendo machine I could see $450 making sense, but paying that much just so you can have the ability to run games you have to buy or upgrade (along with other peripherals) is going to put the initial price potentially around $700. Meanwhile Steamdeck is literally a handheld PC.
