Architecture matters more than raw horsepower, the moment it was known it was an Ampere chip with that many CUDA cores, it should have been obvious it was going to get a lot of PS5 games and even potentially fundamentally change how certain 3rd parties operate, and that's largely been borne out. Japanese developers like Square-Enix and Capcom are bringing top-end games to it, the next mainline Final Fantasy (7 Remake Part III) is Switch 2, so is the new Resident Evil 9, so is the newest console Monster Hunter (Wilds) apparently. I said this when lookin at the Nvidia data leak, this level of power was going to change how Japanese devs did business and we're already seeing clear signs of that.
If people just swallowed their pride and admitted that then, yeah sure, it should have been a short and easy discussion.
The whole crux of the problem is there's a lot of arrogant posters who think they "know Nintendo" when in fact they don't actually know a whole lot about anything. They probably in 3 years of trying to predict this console didn't even understand that there's an entirely new hardware team heading its design under an entirely new, much younger president. If you don't even really know that, like how much is it really worth for you to post in like 3 years worth of threads on the topic of Switch 2 hardware.
Like I don't know who is running the XBox division hardware side today. I'm not going to go into an XBox hardware prediction thread and act like I know what's up or base things on what they did with the XBox 360 (which is what an idiot would do). XBox 360 was 20+ years ago now that means fuck all today.
Again it's like someone trying to argue about the NBA while also thinking the rosters are from 20 years ago. You can't really even have a discussion, they don't even know that the players they're talking about have been retired for like a decade+. The hardware head that made the Wii/DS/Wii U/etc. is gone, retired. The president from that obviously has passed away. You might want to first actually find out what the new guys' design policies are.
There is no one "Nintendo" either. Nintendo changes every decade and does whatever they want, but again this is lost on some posters because they actually don't really know their history with the NES or Super NES or N64, they kinda think "Nintendo" is just one monolith that's been the same and that was mainly the Wii/DS era they remember. Again I don't fault people for not knowing all of that, but don't freaking lecture other people who know better than you do on that either. If you don't know what you're talking about just say so.
