With so many games having trade-offs between Series S and Switch 2, I think I am a bit vindicated with my perspective when I bet a now perma-banned user three years ago. sc94597 said:
Alright, with a few conditions. 1. The comparison would be between a docked Switch 2 and a Series S. An undocked Switch 2 with an Orin architecture likely would be between the Steam Deck and a Series S (which aren't really that far apart anyway, see Digital Foundry's video "Steam Deck vs. Xbox Series S".) 2. If the Switch isn't using an Orin architecture (or something comparable, like say a Snapdragon 8 Gen 2) but something else, then the bet is void. For example, if Nintendo negotiates a Tegra Thor (with ADA Lovelace architecture) -- the Switch 2, even as a portable, almost certainly will match a Series S, even without DLSS being a big boon for it. An RTX 4050 laptop is almost twice as powerful as the Series S, and one would expect a Tegra Thor chip to be something like 60-70% as powerful as a full-powered AD107 (chip in an RTX 4050 laptop.) 3. We define "superior" as the tie-breaker between: a. more stable; higher framerates, b. effective image quality, and c. visual/graphics effects. So if Series S is better in the first two, but worse in the third it wins that game. If they are comparable on one category, one is better on the other, and the other is better on the third category, then that is considered a draw (1 Switch 2, 1 Neutral, 1 Series S.) Digital Foundry videos can be used as the neutral metric of comparison. 4. At least five multiplatform releases need to happen before we call the bet. |

Personal opinion, I think the Series S has superior ports, because of better fps. Switch 2, often, has cleaner image. But for Pragmata, RE9, Rebirth, etc... I would take the superior framerate.
But the gap is closer than most, including myself, thought it would be, which is more your point.
