Did you know that kids sometimes play video games?
The Steam Deck is great. Im playing more PC games than I have in a decade. But every couch session starts with me walking over to turn it on, manually setting the HDMI input despite being in the Input+ slot, starting my Steam Controller, hoping it connects, hoping the bug where it loses my controller configuration doesnt happen, rebooting if if does. Then I can start any of my thousands of Steam games, and a lot of them will work.
The Nintendo that sits next to it, my 4 year old picks up her unicorn covered pro controller from the coffee table, presses the little house button, and she can play Animal Crossing in her own profile in 2 button presses. It always works. Every game always works.
