When it comes to Nintendo tbh I always expect the bare minimum when it comes to specs at this point, Nintendo for the last 2 decades has shown 0 interest in making a powerful console and the Switch being as successful as it is as an underpowered device will only encourage Nintendo to be ok with releasing underpowered hardware, especially since Nintendo likes to make a profit off of each hardware unit sold, which is why I'm expecting it to be around base PS4 level in power despite all the rumors suggesting that it could have close to Series S performance, and I unfortunately think many people will be disappointed with Switch 2's specs cause these rumors are putting expectations way too high right now.
We've also seen many times in the past where rumors always thought Nintendo's next system would be way more powerful than it actually was. I remember there was a rumor that said the 3DS was noticeably more powerful than the Wii and was closer to an Xbox 360/PS3 in specs which ended up being laughably wrong. Rumors said Wii U was a next gen system in specs when it clearly wasn't, I feel like we're going to see the same thing with these Switch 2 rumors where they're all suggesting it could be near Series S performance but will end up being the bare minimum closer to Base PS4 in power.
I'd like to be wrong, a more powerful system with better looking games is always welcomed and a system that'll be able to support for more big current gen 3rd party games would be nice. However, I came to accept the fact that Nintendo does not care about specs and that they'll likely do the bare minimum at this point.
