I have read the entire conversation, so don't make false assumptions or conspiracies.
I am only forming a rebuttal against points of conflict or points I disagree with, the rest I either agree with or don't care about.
| Kynes said: The context is a user who claims that Nintendo did not want to manufacture an 8-inch console with the power of a Series S out of greed, citing as an example a 13-inch tablet that costs $2,100. Anyone with knowledge of electronics and semiconductor manufacturing technology knows that this would entail a cost that a normal user would not accept, in terms of price, noise, size and battery life. You cannot break the laws of physics. |
And this is one of those points of contention.
What I am trying to establish is what specific point/points are justification of choosing a Switch 2 over another device... And then we can try and apply those same standards to determine if another device is factually better.
If you use arguments of Price, noise, size, battery life and more... The Switch OLED is factually a better buy over the Switch 2.
Remember...
1) Switch OLED is smaller and more portable.
2) Switch OLED has better battery life.
3) Switch OLED has a better display.
4) Switch OLED is cheaper.
5) Switch OLED has cheaper games.
6) Switch OLED has more games.
If it's just performance that is the deciding factor, then the ROG Ally X is factually a better buy... Or that $2,100 tablet.
And you are correct that physics does play a role in performance/power... Up to a point. Remember the Switch 2 is on an OLD process node from Samsung... A chip made on a class leading TSMC node would be able to pack more performance into a smaller chip and use less power doing it.
Using an OLED display would reduce power consumption as well; as you don't require an overbright backlight to try and overpower the LCD pixels to get a lit display.
| Kynes said: That's what we were discussing, you're trying to divert it to a comparison with Steam Deck-type PCs, when the type of user of a Switch 2 and a Steam Deck are totally different. Some want a console that allows them to play games and that's it, while a user of a PC with these dimensions is looking for something completely different, they are usually power users. |
That is a lie.
I am not trying to divert this to a PC-discussion... Where the irony is, is that you have decided to mention Steamdeck and other PC's in this discussion.
If you are the owner of a Steam Deck... You are primarily buying it for games, like the Switch 2.
Steamdeck running SteamOS is geared purely for gaming, not productivity or web browsing... It's a very console-like experience.
If you buy a Switch 2, you are primarily buying it for games.
Where these platforms diverge is the types of games. - PC Gaming tends to be full of RTS/RPG titles and gets a lot of those AAA-like console experiences from Xbox Series X and Playstation 5.
