He's right.
It's nextgen and beyond some for a tablet form factor.Focus on power? Sure, if you focus on being one generation behind power wise
ahaha ps4 pro cant even run phantom liberties annnnd still nort even finished development yet
The Switch 2 is consuming as much in portable mode this generation as it was in docked mode last generation. That results in a 2 hour battery life for the most demanding titles, despite the bigger battery.He thinks Switch 2 has a focus on power?
In handheld its weaker from ps4, docked its weaker from ps4pr0 but only in terms of gpu power, it has stronger cpu and much more modern featureset/ssd/more vram so games definitely will look and play better on it, except one thing-resolution since that in particular is highly dependend on raw gpu power.
If the leaked clocks are accurate, then it should have around Steam Deck performance in portable mode and perform between the PS4 and PS4 Pro in docked mode. A hypothetical Switch that kept last generation's power profile, would probably have been only around Steam Deck levels in docked mode.
He is thinking outside of the core hobby gamer that spends a lot of time playing videogames and discussing them on niche internet forums. To the masses that will buy a switch they will feel the system has more than enough power as you can get games like Cyberpunk on it. They do not tend to obsess over frame rates and textures.He thinks Switch 2 has a focus on power?
ahaha games nort even optermized on portable pcs run like potato on low settings on steam deck you must turn off the graphics
RT capabilities, AI upscaling too, 3,5 years till ps6 launches, then we will get huge improvement in both vs ps5 and even the pr0.
Those of you who say that the switch 2 is outdated because it uses 2020 hardware are aware that the Steam Deck (which was considered the best portable hardware at the time) was released in 2022, and that the switch 2 is more powerful... right?
"Powerful" is subjective.
More powerful when docked, in portable mode not so much. Steam Deck runs at full power when undocked the Switch 2 does not. When both are used portable they are in the same ballpark.
Switch 2 is using a 2023 chip though, steam deck using 2021 hardware. 2+ year advantage. plus sw2 likely is using docked mode for some of these comparisons you post

The former SIE president feels Switch 2 is uncharacteristic of a company that thrives on innovation…
what the dont care bout no gimmicks am a portables player annnnd want switch 2 makes steam deck looks like 3DS
Which were released 1.5 years later at $599 for the base model of both (with the Z1 being used, which barely gets more performance than Steam Deck). The Z1 extreme model goes for $699 in both cases.
annnnd games still not optermized waste my time and monies glad switch 2 gots no gimmicks and I can just play
It's no different than Pony fans stating Switch games look like PS1 titles.
That doesn't change the fact that the Switch 2, within the handheld market is far from being outdated or underpowered, in fact in performance/price it is possibly the best.
Nobody outside of core gamers knows about these systems though.
So true. It might be alright with certain games. But docked with the new pro controller will be the way to go.
Not even 2021. RDNA2 has been around before current gen consoles launched, and the Zen 2 processor is from 2019.
Deck is older, cheaper with much cheaper games and has all the freedom of PC.
