can play any game from consoles up to some ps3

up to a lot of Switch, you mean.

That also! My sense is that for the switch it's basically only limited by emulator compatibility, but for ps3 and xbox one it's partially limited by the available cpu and gpu power. I may be mistaken about that though, I don't own a Deck and haven't tested this stuff myself.

It's been a couple years since I tried PS3 and Xbox 360 emulation, but when I did it on PC was the compatibility of the emulator rather than processing power that caused most game to not be playable. It ran Katamari Forever really well, so I'm hoping I can get it running on the Steam Deck, too!

Definitely worth a try!
