And non of the games on Steam are Nintendo games. Sure you’d could use an emulator but the average mainstream casual gamer can’t be bothered to learn how to do that. And Nintendo is a much better known brand than Steam with the casual crowd. Nintendo is not really competing with Steam. Smart phones, which most people already have and the games are free, are a much bigger threat to Nintendo than the Steam Deck.

It clearly underpins your opinion that Nintendo has been trying to enter the mobile market.

What do you mean 'enter'? Nintendo created one of the first handheld gaming devices that ever existed, and they've been known for handheld devices all the way through their history.

I specifically said 'one of the first'.

But if you want to be nitpicky, the Lynx was released two months after the original Gameboy.
