I don't disagree the screen is awful and the battery is meh, but it clearly (overall) is a huge upgrade. 0.3 TF to around 4 TF. 25 gb/s to 102 gb/s. DLSS, etc. it is a massive upgrade. edit 256 cuda cores to 1536 cuda cores. Some aspect of the S2 are a bit disappointing (lack of VRR docked), but nobody in their right mind can call it a downgrade. The S2 decimates the S1 in performance. |
There is obviously a massive hardware improvement, that puts Nintendo in the same camp as current generation consoles from a hardware feature-set perspective.
Teraflops are irrelevant as it doesn't reflect how many TOPS the Switch 2 has.
Switch 2 is a downgrade in several key aspects such as:
* Display. OLED has amazing inky blacks and brilliant colours, with minimal ghosting.
* Battery Life. - With the OLED I can play Breath of the Wild for 5-6 hours. Switch 2? Sometimes less than half that at 2-3 hours. - Guess which one I am taking for that long flight?
A better display and Tegra chip could have fixed both of these issues, but I guess that will happen later with the inevitable "enhanced" console.
The Switch 2 is definitely the successor, but it's also a downgrade compared to the OLED in many areas.
