Do people actually think its a competitor? This is just news sites trying to make something up for clicks surly.

A surprising number of people in this very comment section seem to.

I'd say its more people stating why they prefer the Steam Deck over the Switch than actually believing the Steam Deck would overtake the Switch. Challenge them to a bet and you'd see very few take it.

I think it is people mistaking people's preferences for market share predictions.
