"perfect emulation"

With a setup like this, you can keep moving the goal post until you win all your little internet arguments. Personally, I'm not a fanboy for neither Nintendo nor Valve, so I really don't care to get into this kind of atgument.

My point is that there's no reason to think the Switch 2 can't be emulated on the Deck, at least not until we get more information.

I think the current Steam Deck will not be able to achieve (it doesn’t even have such resolutions)

The Steam Deck supports 4k60 just fine, just not on the built-in display ofc.

I have never cared about winning Internet arguments, nor I have been surprised with such a reply, so there is a first time for everything I guess.

My point is that there's no reason to think the Switch 2 can't be emulated on the Deck, at least not until we get more information.

Also there is not a reason to believe that it will emulate Switch 2 games... What I can almost guarantee is that it won't be as smooth as it does with Switch 1 games, unless we talk about less demanding games ofc.

TIL, so docked emulation could be something (I suppose it gets more power plugged in as well).
