Here I was thinking the Switch 2 was just a Switch Pro with a few exclusives. Let's be real, it's next-gen for Nintendo IPs. Sony and Microsoft is a whole generation ahead and the PC is three generations ahead.
that's not how console generations work.
I legit feel like the gaming community as a whole is getting dumber and dumber reading shit like this.
it's like many have some form of amnesia where they forgot the entire history of the industry and can only remember the last 5 years.
or somehow devolved into talking like 10YOs on the school playground again.
the Wii was the same console gen as the 360 and PS3, while having a similar hardware power gulf between them than the PS5 and the Switch 1 have between eachother.
the original Xbox was more powerful than the Wii in fact, while being one generation older.
guess which system was also part of gen7 (Wii, PS3, 360)... the DS, a system that's less powerful than the Dreamcast and couldn't even do stuff like texture filtering, which is a step back from even the N64 (although I prefer no filtering at such low resolutions)
it really feels like talking to primary school children whenever people say shit like this.
the Switch 2 is gen10, and it roughly follows the established handheld system timing/cadence of releasing slightly ahead of the home consoles. just like the DS and PSP did, and like the 3DS and Vita did.
