The Nintendo Switch: Am I a joke to you?
If Nintendo keeps sending millions of dollars trying to put its fan base in prison.... then yes.
Considering it came out 7 years ago and was underpowered even then, yes.
Nintendo hardware is, most importantly, Nintendo hardware. If the next switch drop Tegra in favor of something from Intel/AMD... the whole Nintendo industry (and the whole library in the Nintendo's store) goes to Intel/AMD.
On Steam Deck you have a different kind of completion: the margin you make in the industry (PC gaming) will be always up to your innovation as company (Valve can't do nothing to kick out Nvidia out of the PC gaming inndustry).
On the other side, if Nvidia keeps ignoring Steam Deck...AMD keep arise in the whole PC gaming industry with their tech (which, since is open, it's more favorable for the end-user but not for Nvidia's closed-walled-ambitions)
It is pretty much a joke, yes
Well as long as we are joking about Tegra powered devices...
