A few weeks ago I said Nintendo's $500 price
hike was a problem. I stand by that.

But Valve just raised the Steam Deck to $789
for the 512GB and $949 for the 1TB. And
suddenly Switch 2 at $500 feels like the most
affordable premium gaming device on the market.

PS5 Pro: $899
Steam Deck: $789-$949
Switch 2: $499

Nintendo didn't get smarter. The market got
more expensive. But the result is the same,
and it changes the conversation completely.

Here's what this actually means for you.
