Finally some specs! This being said I have close to no idea what these mean. How does it compare to, let's say, a PS4?
PS5 is 5 years old. New Nintendo console comes out, how it compares to PS4. 😂
I mean it's a portable device that sips less power. That's a pretty bad faith comparison.
Dock mode shouldn't be limited by power though. PS4 portable would be impressive, but docked? nah
That's not how chips work... It would be a miracle if it even scaled linearly but most of the time it doesn't. Without going into too much detail, there's a reason why Intel and AMD make different chips for laptops, desktops and servers.
I think DLSS will save it. It could achieve ps4 portable and PS4 pro docked thanks to DLSS. Raw performance not even close.
I'm more curious about the steam deck
I often hear people compary pokemon artstyle with gamecube, i'm sure switch 2 has be compared with gamecube. Gamecube bigger, i'm sure gamecube has more power. I would choose a gamecube over a switch 2. Or maybe switch 2 is the second console of it's serien. Let's choose the ps2. Ps2 sold ~~160~~ ~~180~~ 200mio units. Probably more than switch 2. Well we see, maybe switch 2 sell more and is more powerful. Oh wait ps2 sold 220mio while i wrote this.
Stroke-posting
I thought I was way too high. Holy shit, thank you.
What the fuck is this guy talking about?
That was a joke, sorry about that. I just think you can't really compare consoles. You could compare games and their version. So final fantasy vii remake for ps4/ps5 and switch 2. But still does it really matter. If you haven't played ff7R yet, you wait probably for a handheld version.
