The 3050 can run any game on the PS5/XSX that is on the PC. So that's kind of a dumb analogy.

Switch 2 will have many, many PS5 games that don't run on a PS4 period. So it's a PS4 that plays a lot of PS5 games ... which makes it not a PS4 a anymore. No one cares what label you want to put on it. Some people sure have a hard on for needing a label on everything to comprehend it, if there's something that doesn't quite fit that label it's like their brain stops working.

And lol at crowing over a phone pocket device running a modern game at pretty decent performance with no active cooling that's smaller than a Switch and fits in your pocket. That's a great achievement and iPhone gaming will only get better every year because every iPhone from here on out will have even better performance than that, that is the ground floor. 

Laughing at that is like laughing at a 14 year old who is a bit clumsy but is also 6 foot 9 and already dunking on grown men in pick up basketball. That kid could easily be a monster in 4-5 years. The M3 chip that's going to be in iPads is going to run next-gen games full stop on the go. 

Exactly my point.  Based on your "run same games are different setting" logic:

3050=ps5=4090

#samegamesdifferentsettings

Heck we should take it a step further.  Super Mario RPG is on the SNES and switch, albeit the graphics are different but it is the same gagame.

SNES=switch 

Basically you want to lab hardware on game lineup while the accepted is labeling hardware based on specifications and visual output.  

Your analogy only works if the Super NES could run the actual Switch version of Mario RPG Remake, which is a different game.

If the Super NES could do that, then fuck obviously yes, that completely changes what the SNES hardware is. 

A PS4 isn't a PS4 anymore if it runs like 20, 30, 40+ PS5 "only" games. It is something else entirely by that point. 

A Steam Deck isn't a PS4 either ... it runs like dozens of games a PS4 doesn't (Pro or base model). By the end of this product cycle it'll probably have 100+ games the PS4 can't run that it runs acceptably. How the fuck can you be a "just a PS4" and also "oh yeah I run like 100 games from the successor generation". Those two things directly contradict each other. 

It's like saying I have an N64 that also runs Final Fantasy X, Metal Gear Solid 2, Super Mario Sunshine, GTA San Andreas, Zelda: Wind Waker, Resident Evil 4, Halo, etc. etc. at half resolution. Well that's not an N64 class hardware anymore really, it's something else even if it's not exactly a PS2 or GameCube either.
