Was Nintendo right to opt out of the graphics arms race?

There is a big difference between AMD GCN 2.0 and Nvidia Ampere/Lovelace. No one here has presented any kind of reasoned point against that. Put it this way, if Nintendo built the Switch 2 around AMD GCN 2.0 architecture of course there would be a huge fucking difference and the system probably would be exactly what some here are so desperate for it to be apparently, which would be a quite underpowered and very outdated system that would likely be in tough to run modern games in a portable power envelope. Too bad for folks who invested hard in that narrative that Nintendo didn't go that way I guess. 

I used the 7 year gap as a secondary explanation because the poster in question who I was responding too wasn't understanding even that. I'm not a high school teacher, it's not my job to explain something 300 different ways until someone understands it, at some point you either get it or you don't.

Again this is not even what this thread is about, just another case of selective outrage and cherry picking something that isn't even the central point being made. 

You also said the 2000 series was a massive leap, and yet a 1080 outperforms a 3050.  At the end of the day, I can't make you accept facts.  That is exclusively under your remit.  

As for the bolded part, in 2023 I went on record that the S2 would be able to run modern games..  so you win yet another imaginary battle?
