As much as I like my Deck, they’re not really able to fulfill the role of a Switch for party games since a number of them are exclusives and setting up controllers are a bit more tedious than joycons which are essentially plug and play.

Most PC handhelds are also fairly bulky and heavy, I find myself struggling to hold them unless I’m resting it on my lap or a table while sitting so this may not be great for a 7 year old.

It’s interesting to see the demographic and maybe because I’m in an Asian country but among my peers, old zoomers and young millenials, it seems like any console is more for people while kids usually play games on their phone.

I mean, it’s a hard definition to specify though. I don’t think anyone would argue that Smash players are not “gamers” and the majority of gamers don’t seem to care about things like these if they are even aware of it.

Nintendo isn’t doing all that hot either reputation-wise.

Outside of Lemmy and certain circles, it certainly feels that Nintendo is doing fine. I can’t say for sure but anecdotally I’ve hardly seen ant criticism of Nintendo whereas Sony and Microsoft get quite a lot of it. I know that may not really count for much but it’s hard to get a proper gauge of these things.
