I feel there's a bit of bad faith arguing going on here. Can you link to specific quotes made in this thread that say Switch 2 will be equivalent to PS5?

What I can see is people arguing that it'll be capable enough to run many current gen games with compromises, whether those compromises are deemed worthwhile, remains to be seen. The compromises made on Steam Deck seem acceptable to many owners of that system. 

Also, 'The switch 2 will be a ps4 and that is a huge jump for Nintendo.  Day 1 here.  The ps5 stuff is nonsense.', where are you getting this info? DF's best guess has it pegged significantly more capable than PS4, what do you know that they/we don't?

Making a statement like that with that kind of certainty is just silly, we don't even know what node the thing will be manufactured on, which in itself will have a big impact on performance. Who knows, you may end up being correct, but that'll be out of sheer luck as we simply do not have enough info to make that call now.

Something like this?

"I guess you missed the part where they shocased unreal 5 engine demo similar to what what shown for ps5. That cannot run on ps4/ps4 pro specs. It will also have a current gen based cpu, which is much more powerful than last gen, along with a much bettter cpu."

I know semantics are pedantic and eye-rolling... but I think it's important to establish the diference between "equivalent" and "similar".

"Similar" means being almost the same as some other thing, but with some clear differences and particularities. A definition that seems pretty good for Switch 2 ports from PS5/XSX games.

When something is "equivalent" to some other thing it means that both have the same value or qualities, in the sense that you could substitute one thing for the other and there would be no significant difference.

In the context of the quote you provided, the use of the word "similar" should be understood as the Switch 2 version of the Matrix Demo being comparable to the PS5 one (as in, recreating the same scenes, gameplay and overall look), but with some obvious differences. Not equivalent. Similar.

That quote doesn't stablish that the Switch 2 and the PS5 would be "equivalent". In fact, "similar" was used only refering to the Matrix Demo, not the console itself. Another key diference.
