As the gaming community celebrates the recent reveal of the Switch 2, Nintendo’s new console seems to have impacted Steam Deck sales.

For nearly eight years, the Nintendo Switch has found a huge foothold in the gaming world, coming dangerously close to having sold 150 million lifetime units at the time of writing. But eight years is a long time for a video game console to be on the market. Naturally, there will be a new one, and we think we'll find out about it soon.

After months if not years of leaks about Nintendo’s next console, unofficially called the Switch 2 due to zero Nintendo-released information about it, we have a new report from a few sources that says it may actually be revealed this week.

Nintendo has officially unveiled the Switch 2. The reveal trailer went live on Thursday, January 16, which gave us our first look at the new Switch 2 design – there's a larger screen, new Joy-Con controllers, and a suite of other neat additions. We are covering all of the news live, right here.

The speculation can finally end. The Nintendo Switch 2 was officially revealed this morning, confirming weeks of rumors. Those leaks wound up being accurate, as the system’s design and features seem to match what we saw at CES 2025. Case closed … right?

The Steam Deck is normally within the top five of Steam's Top Sellers list, but something shifted the week that the Nintendo Switch 2 was announced.

Nintendo stock has bounced back after the dip it hit following the Switch 2 announcement, and now it's at its highest level ever. To everyone who doubted my (not financial) advice to buy the dip, bet you wish you did now.

Details of what the Nintendo Switch 2 can actually do are somewhat scare at the moment, but there's one thing it could do to surpass the first Switch.
