As a Steam Deck owner, I beg to differ :-D

Isn't that portable PC gaming? It looks like a great handheld, but I
never considered it a console. It really is specifically a handheld.

I'm probably just willfully ignoring your winkie, though.

Just to be clear - again, willfuly ignoring any extraneous emoticons -
the point I was making is Nintendo abandoned the _console_ orthodoxy to
carve out its own niche, and it turned out there are (perhaps?) more
gamers there. It's a console experience different from any other, and it
turns a tidy profit. People are still nuts for their IP, even if some of
us see it as a tired retread. My 7-yo nephew is learning about Mario's
world as I type this.

Nintendo does their own thing, take it or leave it, dancing to their own
unique tune.

I have considered a Deck, but my research says the battery life would
frustrate me. I also don't do enough handheld gaming to justify the price
point. But at least it would be a step out of the Windows ecosystem. I'd
like to give booting into a Proton OS on a desktop a spin.
