I never said that, don't twist my words, it seems you like straw man fallacies.

Going to demolish your post because it's full of holes. Apologies for that.

1) I never said you said that, I asked a question, thus it's not a fallacy, but nice try. If you can't tolerate a question... That's on you.
2) Your first sentence in your previous post was literally about performance and I quote: "That's not what we were talking about. Switch 2 has a very noticeable performance improvement over Switch."

Hence why I asked the damn question in the first place because clearly PERFORMANCE was a DECIDING factor to some degree if you spent the time, energy and effort to write that sentence to begin with.

So... Checkmate on that. - But nice try in asserting that I made a straw man, but clearly that was a lie.

Switch 2 is a totally different product from any PC with that physical format. I've talked about differences in size, weight, price, ventilation... in relation to possible Switch 2s with other higher performance specifications, I haven't said that the reason for buying a Switch 2 is performance.

But you literally brushed off that:
1) Switch OLED is smaller and more portable.
2) Switch OLED has same thickness.
3) Switch OLED has better battery life.
4) Switch OLED has a better display.
5) Switch OLED is cheaper.
6) Switch OLED has cheaper games.
7) Switch OLED has more games.

Was irrelevant factors. - Hence your sentence on performance.

So ARE those differences important or are they not? You need to make up your mind.

The main reason for buying a Switch 2 is the games, whether they are from Nintendo or other companies. Why buy a Switch 2 and not a Switch OLED? Because it has different, newer games that the Switch OLED won't have due to its performance difference.

The main reason for buying -any- console is for the games.
I am not buying a Xbox Series X/Playstation 5 -just- for Netflix... And I am not buying a Switch console as a back scratcher.

Just remember the Switch OLED has more games. 

The Switch 2 has the -promise- of more games coming.

Do Switch 2 games work on a ROG Ally X? No, right? Well, there's your answer as to why you should buy one and not the other. Anyone who wants to play PC games in a portable format has multiple compatible machines to choose from, from the Steam Deck to the new Microsoft-branded ones. Anyone who wants Nintendo games, and those from third parties that develop for Switch 2, will have to buy the Switch 2, it's as simple as that.

You are half right.

Emulation will enable PC handhelds to run Nintendo games. (However legalities will vary from region to region.)
We saw this with the Switch 1... And Switch 1 games looked and ran better on PC.

The reverse sadly won't occur... But I am expecting more ports of more PC games due to the competent hardware in the Switch 2.
