Yep; closer to PS3/360/Wii U in terms of raw horsepower, closer to PS4/Xbone in graphical features and RAM. Overall an interesting middle ground.

It makes me curious for Switch 2, in theory a 2023 release should put it somewhere in between PS4 & PS5 so NSW2 should get a bunch of PS4/XBO ports like how NSW gets a ton of PS3/360 ports.

Then on the other hand it could potentially get more PS5/XSX downports than NSW got from PS4/XBO since 3rd parties shouldnt be so caught off guard by its success and can factor it in from the start.

Huh, in theory? The switch released 3 years after the ps4 and it's hardware sits almost in the middle of ps3 and ps4. Chances are that a switch successor coming in holidays 2022 will see a bigger power jump over the switch than the ps5 does over ps4. That means the power gap will be smaller even with the switch 2 coming only 2 years after ps5 and xsx. So of course it will have no problem getting multiplats with those systems (power wise).

I expect multis to target 4k on ps5/xsx and 1440-1600p with some downgrades on switch 2 docked mode. Portable mode resolution will depend on the power gap between modes. A 4x gap would result in 720-900p, while a 2.5x gap (similar to now) would give us 900-1080p.

I agree, 2023 sounds pretty accurate but that is already halfway through the ps5 life cycle and Sony will likely have a 60m lead by then.

Actual release dates aside, I recommend you to check sales data because the ps5 would have to be selling about as fast as the wii to pull those numbers.
