Switch 2 kinda ended up about where I expected it to be in terms of power, though a little bit better as I honestly didn't expect we'd get 120fps support given the limitations of a portable form factor.

It's technically correct to say that it's multiple GPU generations (not console generations) ahead of last gen in terms of feature set thanks to DLSS/hardware raytracing/etc, but it does need to be stressed that power also matters and in that regard it's also correct to say it's closer to PS4 in raw power simply due to the physical limits of fitting in a tiny case and running off a battery.

What this means for games is that it is capable of running the same games as PS5/Xbox Series, as evidenced by the likes of Star Wars Outlaws and Assassin's Creed Shadows, provided you adjust settings and such. It's also capable of exceeding PS4 and handling stuff PS4 can't, though not to the point of being an entire (console) generation ahead.
