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. |
And the ROG Ally X has a game library of over 200,000+ games. (With 120,000 games being Steam alone) which is a vastly larger games library than the Switch 1+Switch 2. (11,000+320)
The Rog Ally X can run games (especially older titles) better than the Switch 2. (Think Crysis) and at 60fps thanks to it's vastly superior CPU.
Like I said, you get what you pay for.
The ROG Ally X has a CPU that is a generation ahead of the Switch 2.
The Rog Ally X has significantly more RAM for better textures.
At $1000 you get more value due to the sheer scale of it's game library spanning 9x console generations with better performance and graphics.
...And evenb ignoring that the ROG Ally X is often on sale for $799 anyway.
This is fun. Lets keep playing the goal post shifting game.
Just remember your argument was:
1) Switch 2 is cheaper than the ROG Ally X. - But the Switch Lite is cheaper than the Switch 2. - So either price matters or it doesn't?
2) Switch 2 is a sleeker device than the ROG Ally X. - But the Switch Lite is smaller, thinner and sleeker than the Switch 2. - So does size and form factor matter or not?
If your argument applies to one device, it can apply to other options as well.
Remember the Switch Lite has a longer battery life as well.
Also remember the Switch Lite can also play 98% of the games of the Switch 2.
Also remember the Switch Lite's LCD display exhibits less ghosting and input lag than the Switch 2. It's functionally a better display.
