They listed reasons why the PS5 and XboS were not the platform of the year, but nothing about the Steam Deck. It seems like the reason they claimed the Switch was the platform of the year was due to exclusives, so I suppose if that’s their only metric I guess the Switch wins out by a longshot. But I gotta say in any other metric except maybe raw usability (due to some UI bugs) the Deck wins against all other current platforms.

Steam Deck, being a PC and all, has more "exclusives" than every single currently sold console combined by an enourmous margin.

But naturally by 'exclusives' they mean hugely funded "AAA" games from Nintendo or Sony or Micrsosoft.
