According to Valve founder Gabe Newell, the upcoming Steam Deck isn’t a Nintendo Switch competitor as it's targeting a totally different audience.

Ever since the announcement of Valve’s handheld earlier this month, many have been comparing the handheld to Nintendo’s hybrid platform, the Nintendo Switch. In all honesty, there are some clear resemblances between the two, but according to Valve, the Steam Deck was never compared to the Switch as Valve’s machine is geared towards high-end gamers.
