@Sunshine our family was responsible for 4 of those!
And we only have one nintendo switch in the house
I bought two steam decks of which one was at launch and the other was the limited edition OLED one. Both of which get daily use. My kids play them regularly. I play them regularly. If my wife wants to get another computer in the future, I would probably recommend she get something cheap and buy a steam deck to game on. It works quite well for northgard!
@spiffy nice! Yeah I have the oled one too. It's nice.
The kids got the base models, but I've upgraded all the internal drives
The LCD one is 512GB which hasn't been an issue for them so far. They mostly just play valheim and portal/portal2, sticky business and snakeybus. I figure once they get older they will have access to more games and will need more space. But I'm hoping at that point they are involved financially in the purchase so they will have some control over what they get.
Inversed for my family. Three Switches (we're planning on selling one) and one Steam Deck.
Got my Steam Deck a month ago, got Citron working yesterday and might put my (unpatched) Switch into storage soon…
