DLSS 4 still has a notable advantage but FSR 4 has closed the gap enough to where it's not a really big deal any more. In a few years or so this sort of tech could be good enough that the difference won't matter much except when upscaling from a really low base resolution or using ultra performance.

True. But its been 5 years since ps5 launched. What can they reduce in size in that time to level the playing field.

It takes longer than that to close the gap between home console and mobile technology.

Handheld PCs much more expensive (and bulkier) than Switch 2 are just now starting to advance beyond the PS4, and are still way behind PS5.

Vita launched more than six years after the Xbox 360 but was much less powerful.

3DS, DS, and GBA were all around a decade behind console power levels at release.

CDPR is doing too good of a job, they are putting the rest of the 3rd party devs to shame with their offerings on Switch 2.

- Game looks great
- Full physical version and listening to collectors
- Wish they had way more games they could release lol

How good are the chances to see the new Witcher 4 on Switch 2, you think ?

if Cyberpunk sell VERY well (I think its possible because is a launch title), maybe We can see a the witcher 3 for switch 1 port style (blur asf with extreme low quality graphics).

No surprise there. Switch 2 is a powerhouse. It's been clear since the April reveal that Nintendo made the Switch 2 powerful enough to attract AAA third party games. So it comes as no surprise that it can run them well. Even though it's obviously not going to be as powerful as current consoles it is clearly more powerful than prev gen consoles plus has more advanced tech than current gen consoles, allowing it to make up much of the gap and not be that far off what current consoles can do.

I've now watched a few videos comparing upscaling standards and AMD's offering before FSR 4 gets poor reviews and to be honest those versions are the only ones that would run on my hardware. The Intel upscaling XeSS takes the middle ground and DLSS is at the top. Yes FSR 4 is decent but DLSS updated their technology and took the crown again. It feels like Nvidia is the leader here for sure and Intel takes the middle ground not AMD. 

After watching the videos of FSR 3.1 or is it FSR 3.2 I can't remember the issues shown weren't terrible but still undesirable. If I needed to use a lower native resolution to get a game working and then upscale I would use it but it looks pants compared to Switch 2 and DLSS which I guess why its not commonly used on Steam deck because in theory it could use it to match or exceed Switch 2 if it was the same quality of upscaling but it definitely isn't.

After watching those videos I've come away thinking Nvidia is providing the best upscaling solution but I guess future console hardware that is AMD based will have FSR 4 or better although I think Sony's upscaling technology is something different PSSR or something like that (too lazy to google) and that seems to be better than AMD's offering even though on AMD hardware.

I'm convinced Switch 2 is the first in a long time of portable games consoles that focuses on upscaling technology. It just seems a win for hardware pricing and battery life etc. I'm not convinced at this point though that the Switch 2 will have the success of Switch 1 but really my only reason for that is pricing and the fact disposable income's have reduced worldwide. It just feels like the wrong price point to me for both hardware and games. It's going to be a fantastic launch for sure but I'm not convinced it will get the more casual gamers in the same way as Switch 1. I suspect Switch 1 will outsell it at least for this Christmas but we shall see. 

I think Switch 2 needed Japanese market pricing worldwide.

$450 USD is not an excessive price for a gaming system in 2025, the console standard has been $500 for almost half a decade now and it hasn't stopped people buying.

Yeah, I pre-ordered the game although I'm not even interested in playing it just to support that kind of attitude, lol.
