This guy is going out of his way to dumb down the capabilities of the Switch 2 while literally talking to an actual developer of one of the most demanding games ever made who is saying that the Switch 2 is very capable. Comparing the Switch 2 to a PS4 means one of two things. You have a bias against Nintendo, ...or ...you are a COMPLETE idiot. Even the title of the video is brick-stupid and reeks of bias. The game RUNS on the PS4. The game RUNS on Steam Deck. If you want to shamelessly compare the Switch 2 power-level to that of those devices, why would there need to be a question to ask "How CD Projekt Red got Cyberpunk 2077 running on Switch 2?" We already have the full specs of the Switch 2 that show that it is vastly superior to the PS4. We can see with our own eyes the quality of the games that are far superior to the PS4. We have a major 3rd-party studio telling you that a massive AAA title that even had problems running on the PS5 before necessary patches were made was easily ported and runs perfectly fine on the Switch 2. It is confirmed that the Switch 2 can run native resolutions and frame rates that even PS4 Pro cannot (without even using the DLSS,) yet.............people still keep trying to compare it to a PS4. The most logical comparison to the Switch 2 is somewhere between an XBOX One X and XBOX Series S in raw horsepower and performance as the Switch 2 can reach all the same performance benchmarks as the XB1X. It doesn't matter how you get there as long as you GET there. The CPU is vastly superior in the XBOX Series S compared to Switch 2 as it is the same CPU as the Series X. The Switch 2 GPU however out performs the GPU of the Series S which is one reason why "some" games look a tiny bit better on Switch 2. However...Games that are heavily CPU dependent are gonna have a hard time on the Switch 2. It is a good sign though that a game like Cyberpunk 2077 runs so well in such a short development time. People worshiping bleeding-edge console specs really needs to stop. Being the most powerful console didn't help the XBOX Series X now did it? Being comparable in power did not help the PS5 against the Switch? PS5 Pro ain't helping either. In the 9 console generations thus far, only TWICE has the most powerful console sold the most units and/or games. The Nintendo Color TV Game, and PlayStation 4. THAT'S IT.The Atari 5200, Atari 7800, NEO-GEO, N64, XBOX, PS3, and XBOX Series X all LOST their generations despite being most powerful and many of them had SPECTACULAR failures.After seeing the failure of placing all your bets on power, after seeing the success of the Switch that prioritized concept over specs, and after seeing how trying to keep up with high-end visuals is literally bankrupting the industry, people still want to treat Nintendo like a second-class citizen because the chose to apply just enough power to get the job done.
Okay, this "debate" is getting tiring lol. Assuming mobile technology advances at a steady rate, the Switch was 12 years newer than the Xbox 360 at the same launch price and universally agreed to be at least three times as powerful (even the Wii U GPU was a number of generations ahead). So, guess what? The Switch 2 is 12 years newer than the PS4 at a similar launch price. So...it should be at least twice as powerful... I assumed games like Prime 4 and certain free upgrades to Switch games running at 4K 60fps would be enough proof, but some people actually think the base PS4 is capable of that without issues.
