And common sense wins again.Not even a freaking apple 15 pro is matching  series s and people expect switch to match it lmao. every freaking gen it's the same nintendo fans over exaggerating the specs by 2x or 3x and sounding smart while doing so but no using common sense. Nintendo doesn't care about power they want profits from day one, don't expect them to match handhelds that are worth 800$ or Iphone 15 pro which are companies that actually care about making the most powerful handheld or mobile devices. 

Wasn't sure where to post this, guess this is as good a place as any. Digital Foundry just dropped a video of Res Evil Village on iPhone 15 pro and results were mixed. Steam deck runs it approx 50% faster at a higher resolution (1080p vs 900p), so not only does a 15 pro not get near a Series S, it's getting trounced by a much older, much cheaper Steam Deck. Obvious caveats are that the iPhone is constrained to a much lower power draw and smaller volume.

RE8 on the iPhone runs "like a drunken frog" was one of my favorite comments....  even with low quality lighting and low quality shadows.. .  And RE8 isn't even a demanding game.  I feel even more comfortable that people need to have realistic expectations for the mobile hardware, including switch 2.
