How Will be Switch 2 Performance Wise?

ROG Ally X again is double the cost and far bulkier of a device, one would hope it can run something better, if a console was double the cost of a PS5 it would be a flat out embarrassment if it couldn't run games notably better. If I pay double for a GPU, I obviously also would expect better performance. 

The Switch 2 is double the price and is bulkier than the Switch Lite.
We can move that goal post around all day.

You want the better device with better hardware? You ironically need to pay for it, who would have thought?

And the Switch 2 is a waaaaaaaaaay better device than the Switch 1 Lite, a full generation ahead easily of the Switch Lite, the ROG Ally X can run games moderately better than the Switch 2 but is no where near a generational uplift while needing to be much bulkier and having a smaller screen for more than double the cost. No detachable Joycons either. 

At $1000 it's a niche, niche device, if that's where you have to go to get better than Switch 2 performance in a still bulkier form factor, than Nintendo delivered good hardware bang for their buck. 

The Switch 1 Lite would be more like a Playstation 1 in your analogy, the Switch 2 being a PS2, and the ROG Ally X being an original XBox (2001), but it would be if the XBox cost $1000 while the PS2 was $450.
