What I am saying is because Nintendo is too cheap, you can't get Dolby Digital 5.1 but rather PCM and that can only be done with straight HDMI connections and not optical.

Switch 2 will easily surpass that. It has some 1080p games but looking it up its mostly Wii U ports or games which aren't technically demanding. 1080p nosedives performance on the current handhelds on the market and even Xbox Series S is sub 1080p in a number of games now.

Didn't say it would be more power than those other handheld PC powerhouses. I said it will be more powerful than the Deck based on the chip NVIDIA will be using....

Twinblade★ 4,074 Posted April 1, 2023 Share Posted April 1, 2023 Lets be realistic, the Switch 2 is going to underwhelm hardware wise. There is no point in having any expectations for it being powerful given Nintendo's recent history. Link to post Share on other sites

No one is expecting ps5 or series x quality, but rather ps4/Xbox one level. And for a handheld and Nintendo’s magic, that’s more than enough Link to post Share on other sites

Playstation Tablet 1,772 Posted April 1, 2023 Share Posted April 1, 2023 Pascal was 30% more powerful than Maxwell in 2017, and Nintendo still went with Maxwell even they were the same node. Expect similiar bullshit with Switch 2. Link to post Share on other sites

The PS3 and 360 are literally 15+ years old at this point and thats the best Nintendo was able to do with the Switch. To expect the Switch 2 to be some kind of major leap is silly.

Nintendo isn't going to make a Deck quality handheld anytime soon especially considering how long they've been overpricing their products for. A Switch 2 with Deck hardware would have to cost $500 at the minimum, and there's no way Nintendo is going to sell a system for more than $300. Link to post Share on other sites

So they are going to make a 3rd console only slightly more powerful than PS3? WiiU was more powerful than PS3 The Switch is more powerful than PS3 The switch 2 is not going to just be a little more powerful than PS3 15 years later. It will be equivalent to PS4, and probably better with DLSS Link to post Share on other sites

All the WiiU games that were 720p on WiiU are all 1080p on switch like Mario 3d world, mk8, dk tropical freeze, Bayo, captain toad, pikmin3, etc. Link to post Share on other sites

To expect the Switch 2 to be some kind of major leap is silly. Few things... Switch 1 is already more powerful than PS3/ 360. Expecting Switch 2 to be within that same ballpark is silly. The Switch 2 SOC was already spelled out and leaked when Nvidia got hacked. It is a major leap above Switch 1. Obviously not PS5 level because it's a portable, but it will be much more capable than Switch 1. Link to post Share on other sites
