Switch 2…a true next gen Switch or a Switch Pro?

Is the Switch 2 a true next gen Switch?

Can't find a good one with close settings, but Ally X can hold more than 30fps at 1080 ultra settings with low RT.


I was looking at this one too, the FSR3 1080p balanced section to be exact. 31-40 fps at Steam Deck settings... Basically trading blows.

Xbox one was about 1 TF

Xbox One X was 5TF

It was a pretty big leap for a mid gen refresh

Switch 2 is a generational leap over switch, but it’s still not “current gen equivalent” in docked mode versus year 2020 consoles
Lol, nobody is expecting that… Compared to the SWITCH 1 the Switch 2 is a true next gen, stop dragging the PS5 into to this conversation.

Switch 2 is a handheld device, the comparison with XSX and PS5 is retarted and it's not what the thread is about

Even PSP and Vita were far behind (respectively) PS2 and PS3 in pure horsepower, despite being cutting edge at the time

It has a dock, it’s not just a handheld device
 
For everyone trying to now label the S2 as a console so it fits their narrative regarding how it stacks up performance wise to the PS5 and XSX, please keep this same energy when it comes to sales threads and how the Switch and S2 stack up to the PS5 and XSX.

Switch 2 has an 80M or so deficit, if we’re going to just have dick measuring sales contests for no reason lol

The point is that some people wish switch 2 was a far more powerful docked console than it actually is

And here we have peoples who can't even hear what Rich says, not surprised.

"actually think well he's he's got a 540p pixel count here but that seems to be on the market area shot and that seems to be a transition point into handheld play"

So a marketing reel where a trailer team (and I have a friend who works in such a place in Montreal for a ton of high profile gaming companies), slaps a video on a CG handheld, this section as Rich says

and this is used to pixel count?

Are you peoples stupid? Who would ever pixel count this shit after marketing teams slap footage on a render
:messenger_tears_of_joy: I mean it explains peoples voting "NO" I guess.

Or you know



Or the pixel count of PS4 Pro for Phantom Liberty
0p

Goes from Switch where it went above PS3 games but WAY under PS4 baseline and now to a console that eclipses PS4... not a generational leap

The switch 1 was not a powerful baseline to start from

It was weak even by 2017 standards

And that is irrelevant to the question in the OP

My 6 years old daughter has better reading comprehension.

Is Switch 1 → Switch 2 a generational leap?

Easier fucking yes in tech world.

It lept PS4 gen entirely and is somewhere in the crossgen limbo where it'll do things that PS4 never did. Including streaming data really fucking fast like modern consoles as Phantom Liberty's main reason to not go on PS4 was because of HDD. SSD was forced on that DLC on PC too.

Unreal 5 with nanite+lumen. Yakuza 0 4k 60 fps, you remember the resolution on PS4?

The 540p was Rich counting pixels on a clip that was pasted on a CG model, he even admits that and laugh but somehow people ignored that part and only heard 540p.

Whats more, this port has only been in development for 7 weeks.

It's not exactly a fair comparison as we don't know what it'll be like when finished or even if it's actually running at 540p.

I admit it's very close to a Switch Pro, but no. If it was a Switch Pro, you could just put in a Switch game and download an update patch that improves the resolution/framerate etc. with no additional content. That's not what's happening here. This is more like one game getting a PS4 version and a PS5 version situation.

Again, I fail to see the problem. Switch 2 is a generational leap to the Switch. That's what matters.

No one is expecting Switch 2 to go toe to toe with PS5/Series X.

It's a portable console with a dock, it's not a dedicated set-top device.

Thats what some were suggesting with the "magical power" of dlss...

A 2060 with DLSS doesn't compete with a 4080 with DLSS in terms of raw spec. DLSS is not a magic bullet.

It’s obviously a generational leap. Expect even more ‘impossible ports’ on this bad boy. 😎

PS5/XBSs comes with a screen and battery?

Comparing a small handheld with a home console and going "well it should be just as powerful because it costs the same" is maybe one of the dumbest arguments I've seen in the console war.

I swear some people here will buy a $1200 iPhone, then get home to download Resident Evil 4 remake on it and be completely bewildered because it doesn't run 3 times as well as on a Ps5

That happens when they doesn’t have more solid arguments… They start throwing whatever stupid thing that comes to their minds.

Yep first it was not gonna to be as powerful as PS4 and Steamdeck and now surprise surprise it's not as powerful as PS5, so it's instantly a bad system. Just funny to read is all I'm saying 🤣
