Sure.  But the point is the ps4 beats out the S2 in some areas (especially the pro) and falls behind in others.  Too many people on this forum are delusional and act like the S2 is leagues above last gen consoles.  It isnt.  The ps4 and especially the pro are fair comps.  The S2 is way closer to the ps4 pro than the ps5, just a damn fact.  

For the record, I definitely wouldn't say Switch 2 is "leagues" above PS4, though I would say it is better on balance.

It's a case by case thing, where a lot will depend on the game in question; what it's specific demands are, what techniques it uses, etc.

I would put the S2 bang on the ps4 pro.  The ps4 pro had solid upscaling via checkerboarding and power is roughly the same.  Technically the ps4 pro has more raw power, but the S2 is more efficient, it washes out.

Every piece of hardware is slightly different, which is why I think broad tiers make sense, versus subtle nuance.  Like the ps2, GC and xbox..  I would put them in the same tier.  There were subtle differences between the three, but largely the output was close enough.
