Grouping Nintendo with PS/Xbox in this way no longer makes any logical sense when their generational transitions have been on different timelines for nearly a decade now. Sony and Microsoft's "10th gen" consoles do not exist yet. Handheld consoles also cannot be as powerful as contemporaneous dedicated consoles due to the very laws of physics; Switch 2 is as powerful as can reasonably be asked for in a $450 portable device. |
I dont follow this reasoning, despite Switch releasing while there were no 9th gen consoles from Sony and MS, it doesnt change the fact that it was succeding their 8th gen systems (WiiU, 3DS). A few years without their gen counterparts wont invalidate its next gen status as we saw other examples in previous generations.
And PS6 announcement is somewhat close and its clear they will follow the same pattern to chase for more powerful specs. Althought, it is not a concern for me because I wholeheartedly agree with your last paragraph. Handheld experience is way superior to give a damn about the power discrepance, especially now with diminishing returns
