Just noticed your edit. One thing that always needs to be considered is that comparing OEM PC SKU's (and yes the Rog Ally is a PC) to closed-platform consoles never really favors the pricing of the PC SKU when it comes to price-per-performance. When a console manufacturer makes a contract with a hardware supplier, they are getting the cheapest prices possible. Why? Because that supplier is going to be supplying hardware for three-five years, not just the year or so until the hardware is outdated and a new chipset/PC model revision is released. The PS5 cost, at release, much less than the RX 5700XT PC it competed with performance-wise. Likewise, a Switch 2 needn't be as expensive as a Rog Ally (especially given that it is releasing next year at the earliest) and still having better performance. There is also the fact of the matter that architectural differences mean much these days, because of the feature-sets of the respective graphics processors. Nvidia is a generation ahead of AMD when it comes to ray-tracing, and the Switch 2's GPU architecture (again assuming Ampere or ADA Lovelace) will either be a generation or two ahead of the RDNA2 GPU in the series S on top of that. The Series S will be 4 years old when the Switch 2 likely releases, and it was low-end hardware when it was new. |
That's nice and all but you are forgetting that the switch 2 will probably have 8 hours of battery life and it come at a cost. ray tracing ain't happening. I always here this generation or 2 theory guess what the Xbox was pos home console and switch had the next-gen architecture and was still miles behind, same story with wiiu.
Anyway we discussed this enough we will just have to wait till the games come out.
