    Steam Deck is a handheld PC not a console. Also it runs a lot of Switch games better than Switch itself.

      It’s a console and a PC in one package! Or you feel like the other consoles don’t have an operating system in them?

        Well, your phone has OS as well, does it count as a console? Also you can’t run PC software on a console, can you?

          Nope, it doesn’t have a controller built-in and its main purpose isn’t gaming. You can’t run PS games on a Switch, does that somehow magically make either not a console?

          The Steam Deck was designed from the ground up to give a console-like experience. The only real difference is it’s not a closed system, so you can use it as a PC as well if you want.
