The Switch 2 is a portable device. It can't be that hard to grasp the idea that some people might value a portable device with less power over a stationary device with more power. Gaming isn't about FPS and resolution, it's about having fun. How would you feel if someone said: "I just watched video about the PS5. It doesn't even have a battery, or a screen, or built-in speakers. Can you seriously tell me it's ok to charge x amount of money for such an antiquated device? It's like a home computer from the 90s vs a modern portable device."?Â
Specs have no value. Gaming has value. Fun has value. So yes, obviously it is okay to charge 450$ for a device that brings lots of fun and value to people.Â
I swear to god, I've seen this same discussion again and again since 2006, when I started visiting this website. It never ends, it's total madness. Every couple of years people start arguing about specs and every single time they are flabbergasted that a "crappy, weak console" sells well. Â

I knew someone would come in and say "but it's a portable device so stop comparing it to non portable devices" The ROG ally is also a portable device in a similar price range but is capable of playing Cyberpunk at a locked 30fps. So now what?

I have a Z1e original Rog Ally and play Cyberpunk quite a bit on it. Also have been playing Cyberpunk on the Switch 2. The Switch 2 version looks a lot better in quality docked mode to the optimal Rog Ally settings for 30fps, similar in handheld performance mode, and has similar performance (unless you use frame generation on the Ally.)
Yes, in hectic scenes unless you have the Rog Ally docked in 30W mode you get frame-rate drops on the Ally. Even in the 25W portable mode (which means your battery life dies around the hour point) the game has drops in hectic scenes. 15W mode requires lowering the resolution (and effective image quality) quite low.
