The power is the thing that truly surprised! This is why it is $450 instead of $400, they packed this thing full of power. A huge generational leap over the Switch.

I expected 1080p games to be able to do 60fps, and wasn't sure if it'd do 4k but if it did i figured 30fps would be the norm for 4k.

But instead it is a 4k/120fps capable system (not at the same time of course haha). Seems like docked 4k/60fps is gonna be common and 1080p/120fps might be a fairly common performance option for certain games that benefit from 60+ frame rates like first person shooters. Sounds like 1080p-4k and 60-120fps is gonna be the norm in comparison to the Switch's 540p-1080p and 25-60fps norm.

It looks like it's at or even a bit above PS4 Pro / XB1X level of performance, which is incredibly impressive. No wonder it is getting major AAA third party support, this thing kicks! Seems like it should be able to handle most current gen console games likely just with settings turned down a bit rather than needing a series of graphical downgrades like the Switch required. I would think all but the absolute most demanding current gen console games will be portable to Switch 2 without much hassle beyond the normal requirements of porting.

Really incredibly impressive, and beyond what I think anyone was imagining.

For older and simpler games that'll be the case but for newer more demanding games 1080p 30-60fps should be the norm with the 1080p often not being native and instead upscaled from like 720p. The PS5 can do 120fps but barely any games run like that on it so that in particular is gonna be rare but 60fps will be more common though thanks to performance modes being offered when doable.
