Totally agree. I also think a lot of it is platform preference. Quite a few of those people who complain(ed) about S2 being too weak because it's not as powerful as a PS5 will be perfectly happy once a PS6 handheld releases (that'll also be less powerful than a PS5). Those same people will suddenly "get" that a portable console is restricted to a few watts of output. For many people the magic threshold for "good enough performance" to enjoy games will always be what their favorite platform provides, no matter what it is. Series S is too weak! But a PS6 handheld with the same performance is good enough, because it's a handheld. But the portability argument doesn't hold true for the Switch 2, which is simply too weak. This goes in all directions of course, even though some fanbases are clearly more vocal about performance. |
I think it's also the case that a lot of people criticising it online as underpowered never had any interest in the system in the first place no matter how strong/weak it was and are just console warring.
