So we already know Steam Deck specs and I'd like to see what you all think Switch 2 specs will look like. This is NOT a thread for comparing hypothetical Switch Pro or the real Switch OLED to Switch Deck. I'm talking about Nintendo's true next gen upgrade. Many of the rumors out there about Switch Pro could have been actually about Switch 2, so I'm including one of those beefier rumors as my prediction of what we can expect for Switch 2, but you certainly don't have to do so. What do you guys think specs will be for Switch 2 and which do you think will be a better device regardless of software?
