All I'm saying is that if I'm a non-biased gamer (which I am), and trying to decide which console is going to provide me the best tech for the money, it's certainly not going to be the Switch 2. Ever since Wii, Nintendo has released hardware that either can't run that gen's most advanced software, or runs it worse. So why would I bother with Nintendo? There most certainly won't be GTA 6 on that system. And if there is, it definitely won't be the definitive version. And that goes for anything else that is graphically intense. 

But i don't see how you can compare Switch 2 to a home console, there is no handheld system as of now that can deliver PS5 fidelity or performance. So its obvious that if you don't care about portability or about Nintendo games, then yes the PS5 will be the better choice of hardware for your personal preferences. That's not some kind of profound revelation that if you buy hardware based on how to best run third party AAA games, the Switch 2 won't be the best alternative for you.

I agree with you, but since Nintendo has decided to voluntarily no longer sell home consoles, the Switch 2 docked is the only way to play their games on a TV. So we're sort of forced to compare it to what Sony is doing. And if you're someone who likes all games, not just what Nintendo is putting out, you're going to have to make a decision. Do you want half-baked ports and Nintendo games that don't really look all that much better than last gens? Or do you want the best third party support, fully-baked versions without any Nintendo games? It's a problem. 

Well, not for those of us who get multiple systems.

But still.

It would be nice if we could get something like a PS5 Pro Nintendo back ala SNES. Imagine the next Zelda launching along side GTA 6. It would slay the industry and save a lot of us a ton of money.
