Oh, wow, I knew the most expensive one sold out a week or so ago, but didn’t know the middle tier one did, too. It can’t possibly be a coincidence that this happened when the Switch 2 launched when they’ve been all been in stock for a long time now. I know I got my LCD Steam Deck right after seeing the Switch 2 reveal. The continued enshittification of the walled gardens in the gaming industry has finally made me start the transition to PC gaming as a main rather than secondary way to play games.

Also, for what its worth, the OLED Decks literally sold out today, as in, Valve doesn’t currently have any more to sell in the US.

Also also… I realize this is a silly comparison, but the Switch 2 has not outsold all variants of the Deck, yet.
Its at about 3.5 million, Steam Deck is at about 4.5 million since 2022.
Also, the Switch 2 is apparently already sold out as well, as in no more units available at US retailers.

Wild the Switch 2 has nearly caught up to the Deck in less than a week.

Not surprising. The Deck has always been niche and is just one way to play PC games out of many, many other options.
