Seriously. Just downvote these posts too. The PSPortal is a great device for what it is meant to do. The Steamdeck is a great device for what it is meant to do.
Exactly. They’re different products with different goals. If I give a stapler a 10/10, that doesn’t mean I’d rather have the stapler than my Steam Deck. It means the stapler accomplishes its goals perfectly.
The Steam Deck experience from two years ago is very different from the Steam Deck experience in late 2023. IMO, I think IGN kind of got it right giving the launch Steam Deck a 7. Over the last two years of updates, the experience is considerably better now; hence the 9 for the OLED Deck.
My Deck experience as a new owner is so different from what I read and saw at launch. It’s a completely different device almost, in terms of software but also the hardware. My battery life is better, no fan issues… Hell, they even just improved the screen essentially via a software update.
Why do you feel attacked by this?
Weirdos turning products into personalities.

I feel like it’s just the description of the review rather than the number.
Like that PlayStation thing got a whole paragraph while the deck got a single sentence. At least in this picture.

Move on, OP.
