No one is saying that, no one is expecting that. That's nonsense. People can be reasonably excited for a portable Nintendo system that has reasonably good modern performance and also has a form factor considerably better than any other mobile gaming product on the market. This is significantly thinner and wll be easier and more appealing to take outside the house than a brick thick Steam Deck or ROG Ally as well, that's not a small bullet point either. I got to borrow a Steam Deck for a while and the thing is so freaking chunky you really have no desire to ever take it out of the house let alone pack it for a flight, which kind of defeats the purpose in a lot of ways. Enthusiasm is fully warranted, after 18 months of listening to a bunch of shit about "dur hur, mesa knowsa Nintendos!!!! It's gonna be super duper under powered jusa lika WIIII YYYYOUUUUU". The actual reality is Nintendo has a completely different management today, Switch has very different brand demographics as well, just like Yamauchi's era where the Super NES, N64, GameCube were significantly more powerful than their most comparable consoles. Wii/DS/Wii U/3DS era is most certainly over and it was always temporary (something some people apparently didn't get the memo on). Nintendo is moving more upmarket and more into the premium market because it makes sense to do so, they have brand power to do it with (XBox brand also sinking), but I've always viewed it as more of a return to their actual original console roots. The NES, SNES, N64, GCN despite some cry babies that always need to nit pick hardware by general market consensus were always reasonably good hardware, Switch looks like a return to that given the realistic constraints of a hybrid form factor (which IMO will eventually eat traditional consoles' lunch). |
"Switch 2 looks better than PS5 Pro here" - mate, you literally said that very nonsense:

And no less in the scene that has some of the worst artifacts, if not THE worst, of everything shown up to date on Switch 2.
It's ok to be enthusiastic about something, but it's ok to take a step back and curb your enthusiasm when thinking about posting such nonsense, and to rethink with clear head whether something that is 1/7th as powerful as PS5 Pro can actually look better.
SW2 is fine piece of hardware, but miracle it is not.
