I'm not sure if I'm following anything you're saying here. 12GB is not generous. They could have gone with 16GB but didn't.

3GB for the OS is also fairly standard. The PS4 used the same amount of RAM for its OS in 2013.

A lot about the Switch 2 specs is still umconfirmed. We have leaked info from a nvidia hack years ago and shipping manifests info that people from Famiboards managed to get.

However, seeing as some of this info is confirmed already (The T239 SoC being real and 256GB UFS storage), I think the DF spec sheet is the real deal.

Negativity is fine, but negativity for the sake of being negative or "because it's Nintendo" is getting old pretty fast.

Edit: No, they also didn't change the RAM 3 months before launch because of the tariffs. The Switch 2 is already being mass produced for a while now. That's why all the leaks happened before it was announced...

No comment about the review units bit because that's just conspirational stuff based on nothing. Lol.

I don't consider myself  being negative, I have been very positive about the very impressive DLSS upscaling. I am still curious why a retail model would have the same memory as the development model plus curious why Nintendo haven't officially confirmed 12GB of memory but have confirmed other aspects of the specification. It has been widely reported that journalists aren't getting their review models until the launch date. At all times I'm trying to be realistic, neither negative or overly optimistic but just in the middle I hope. However I am not a Nintendo fanboy so I'm not emotionally attached to what the Switch 2 ends up being in spec. I am very interested in gaming technology though.
