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. |
And similar is very subjective. Some might argue Hogwarts and Witcher 3 on the switch are similar to the ps4 versions and are effectively the same game. Some others would argue the two above mentioned games are not similar at all.
Most people are being realistic, it is just a few outliers that are funny.
"The switch 2 will wipe the floor with the ps4, so it will also wipe the floor with the ps4 pro, though with a much closer gpu gap vs that one."
I suppose you could argue semantics once again but wiping the floor of the ps4 pro sounds like a ps5. And it would be easy to discredited the post as trolling, except one person openly agreed.
At the end of the day, at least for me, the Switch 2 is day 1 for me. Nintendo software is amazing. I fully anticipate buying third party on the ps5/pc for the very noticeable fidelity and performance gains.
