Are they though? Mobile phone level CPU. phone/tablet level amount of RAM with similar bandwidth speeds. The only semi decent aspect of it's specs is it's GPU but that's really only because of DLSS saving it. The PS5 specs are great for the price though, and that's why it's so popular and selling so well. Gaming is technological and tech specs are not something you can ignore and hope for the best. Why do you think Sony and MS spent so much on the R&D of PS5 and Xbox series? They know how important they are and they wouldn't do it for no good reason.

You really live in your own world

Yep, don't post anything related to to the topic itself, just a comment to ridicule one individual. A lot of people in this thread have been sceptical of switch 2 but you only picked my comment? Also, comments without any relevance to the thread itself is against VGChartz terms of use. 

Horribad take. 

Switch 2 has fine hardware, performs as well/better than far PC handhelds that cost a lot more in a lot of cases. Of course it uses mobile components, it has to unless you want something that has 10 minutes of battery life and the size of a Game Gear (which would sell 500 units lifetime). 

The Switch 2 is the first time in the modern 3D graphics era where a portable device can basically run modern generation console games. Star Wars Outlaws, Assassin's Creed, Resident Evil 9 Requiem launching day and date with the other versions, etc. etc. already prove it that will be the tip of the iceberg. 

Every system these days would love to have more killer apps early on in the product cycle. The PS5 and XBox Series S/X had jack shit for exclusives in their first year as well. Game development cycles simply mean the early part of every new game platform will be padded hard by cross-gen releases. You can't magically pull a AAA release out of your ass in 18-36 months anymore like you could in the past. 

Skyrim Switch 2 version has just launched and it only runs at 30fps while even the Steamdeck (which is 3 years old) can run it at 60fps. How do you explain that? A 2011 game running at 30fps on hardware released in 2025. Bethesda is lazy or incompetent? Is Fromsoft lazy and incompetent for having to delay Elden Ring? What about Gearbox and Borderlands 4? They're incompetent and lazy too? 

I can explain it, it's easy. Steamdeck has a much better CPU than Switch 2 and the CPU in Switch 2 isn't fit to be in a modern gaming device.
