That’s such a good question, maybe everyone is dumb, isn’t it?
As a serious answer: Not the same price, not the same games.
Steam Deck is awesome thought.
I agree about the Nintendo exclusive games, but the price is about the same. 320 US dollars gets you a refurbished 64 GB steam deck, which is basically the same price as the standard Switch and even cheaper than the OLED model. Not to mention all the great sales and cheap keys you can get
Edit: I do own both, I've had a switch since launch day, so I recognize the power that the first party exclusives have. I certainly don't hate on the switch by any means
