You dont understand what I said. I didnt say anything about not understanding why people compare systems. I said, I dont understand why people expect portable hardware to match things like the ps4 pro. Nothing portable is even close to the pro. Not even close.

Portable hardware does exist on another level entirely. They will always be inferior because they can only get so much performance from a chip without killing a battery in 5 minutes. 

 People should keep their expectations of mobile chips in reality. Unless you know something I dont, the next switch wont be equal to a ps4 pro... not even in 2023. Even the most expensive devices cant match the xbox 1 fat. 

No, what you said is you don't understand why people think a portable system can match x console, meaning any other console. Obviously portable systems advance the same way home systems do. There is no reason why a portable system can't match the power of "x" system, depending on what the two systems are. Switch exceeds the power of 360 and PS3, having come out a decade later, it's reasonable to expect a system coming out 10 years after One/PS4 to exceed those. Maybe it won't match the later upgraded versions of those systems, but it should at least be somewhere in between the power of PS4 and PS4 Pro. We're not talking about a portable system matching a current home system, we're talking about a portable system matching the power of home consoles from 6 to 10 years ago, which the Switch already does.

If Nintendo saves money by not designing a completely brand new system, but instead does a straight upgrade to the Switch with just a few tweaks beyond the obvious technical upgrades, that saves them a lot of money in the R&D stage, so assuming they can get enough battery power in there, it is certainly within expectations that Switch 2 could at least be close to matching PS4 Pro performance when docked. Maybe it could be PS4 base level in portable mode and close to PS4 Pro when docked, something like that seems fairly reasonable for 2023.

Ok... since it has to be said loud and clear, instead of saying x system, then I will say it loud and clear. Compared to a ps4 pro. There. And, how did you think I'm talking about the switch matching the pro today? Do I have to say explicitly that it's coming in 2023 or more? The idea was always in the future. You just want to be difficult. Hopefully you're happy now and it's clear to you.i mean jesus man, you think I was talking about the 360 or ps3? Come on. You really think the switch 2 will be on the same level as the ps4 pro? Not a chance man. How about this, if we are both still here when the new switch comes, I'll bet you that it will not match the pro, plugged into a wall or not. Hopefully I've made myself extremely clear. Dont want to leave anything to your imagination.
