They also have their own exclusive IPs, so I'd almost lump Nintendo into a box of its own, it's not comparable.

This product is a glorified mini-computer, why would you play Steam games on this thing as opposed to a laptop/PC?
Because you can't take a shit while playing on a PC. It doesn't just play steam games if can play any game a PC can play. Emulators would be big for this. I think they even have a switch emulator.

Looks like all versions will have an M.2 slot so the 64gig version may be the way to go and just add your own SSD.

hen is the Steam Deck release date?

The Steam Deck will begin shipping in December 2021.

However, that doesn't mean if you reserved one you'll receive it this year, as the Steam Deck site is now showing "expected order availability" in Q1 of 2022 for the 64GB version, Q2 2022 for the 256GB version, and Q3 2022 for the 512GB version. This may vary depending on your region, however. We'll update when we know more.
