'The switch 2 will have mobile hardware and will not push ps5 visuals.' I think this goes without saying (to sane people anyway). The iPhone pro is limited by power draw & thermals, it is handily outperformed by the steam deck which on paper has a less powerful chip. Would you agree that the Switch 2 is likely to be more capable than the Steam Deck, in docked mode at least? If yes then I think your point re. 3rd parties isn't really supported as Steam Deck runs a tonne of modern titles... If the Switch 2 establishes a decent install base, which seems almost guaranteed at this point (unless Nintendo completely shits the bed), then titles will also be more optimised than on SD. Yes, games will look better on the home consoles but that also applies to Steam Deck - developers are still spending resources on optimizing around the SD specs for a reason. |
Oh yeah, for sure the switch 2 will outclass the steam deck. No doubt. And for sure the switch 2 will be able to run modern games, no doubt. Just not at the fidelity and performance of the ps5. And most people won't care about the fidelity differences. So switch 2 will be fine.
