Plenty of us said we were impressed with what Switch 2 turned out to be capable of. I know I did, many times.

The downplayers have almost entirely fallen silent, there's no need to keep dredging up a debate from like 6 months ago.

I have as well, I am quite happy with the S2.  

But he isn't going to stop.  He basically copies/pastes all his posts.  Also he reminds me of Trump.  Repeat the same thing over and over, while declaring victory on battles that never took place (e.g. war on xmas).  

lol, you downplayed the system every thread you could for 3+ years here, now you want to act like it never happened. That's on you dude, not me. I don't point it out much at all. 

People who also try to fashion themselves as "Nintendo experts" here might also actually want to do some basic homework and understand "Nintendo" of today was always very different from Nintendo of 10 or 20 years ago. The board of directors is completely changed, the president is completely different, the hardware division is headed by completely different people. It was telling in the Switch 2 "Ask A Developer" segment that one of the heads of the Switch 2 hardware said they weren't happy with Switch 1 hardware performance (essentially they chose the off the shelf Tegra X1 for time/cost purposes, there wasn't time to make a bespoke chip and they likely got a heckuva deal on that chip) and they stated they wanted better for Switch 2 ... most people have no clue that that is Nintendo's current hardware division philosophy, they still think the same people from 20 years ago run the hardware division. 

It's like having a discussion with someone who wants to talk NBA or NFL or NHL ... OK fine, but they still think teams have the same rosters and players they had 20 years ago ... like lol, you don't have any clue what you're even talking about, almost all the players you think are playing retired years ago. A lot of people would be a lot better off simply admitting "I don't know much about this new Nintendo president, and I didn't even know they had a new hardware team essentially, so it would be hard for me to say what the next hardware could be". For whatever reason some people think they know everything about Nintendo to make wild predictions with complete certainty, they don't even understand who is running the company.
