Again, if it is roughly comparably performant to the average gaming handheld device upon its release, it isn't "very dated." The fact that a Steam Deck 2 might come out to outperform it in 2026, doesn't change that. Every single piece of computer hardware released has been outdated a year from its release date. When the PS5/Series X released they were comparable to a mid-end gaming computer. The fact that the RTX 3090 released more than a month earlier doesn't make them "very outdated." Consoles are mid-ranged platforms of their form-factor at the date in which they release. Always have been since the invention of dedicated GPU's, always will be. |
I think comparing console to PC and applying it to switch is pointless. PC is a massive market and handheld gaming is niche aside from a Nintendo handheld. To build a PC with ps5/series specs in 2020 would have cost you 1000$ so for the price point it's the best you can get, mean while were getting switch 2 with what the specs we expected from the pro version years ago and ps6 will be coming 2 years after just seems dated to me if you don't share that opinion its fine we can agree to disagree.
