sad nintendo should/could release new switch1/oled improved version. Now we have switch2 and yes it's disappointing.

Disappointing in what sense? Elaborate with something other than the vibes

Just to add some salt in the water ps4 games was available on switch1 and developels said it's possible. What did switch2 add to it? Nothing

A lot of the games that targeted PS4 which were ported to Switch ran poorly with serious downgrades. They were often described as "impossible ports", personally I never really bothered with them. They were a novelty and, to me, generally pretty disappointing. The Switch 2 doesn't really struggle at all with games that originally targeted that spec. Obviously you're not going to instantly have all Switch games instantly take advantage of this improvement, development takes time and money. And also there's an even higher target spec which the Switch 2 cannot attain. But this performance advantage, it's a clear reason why the Switch 2 is better

And if you don't believe this is an improvement well you've painted yourself into a corner. Because this is also literally the only reason why you would also buy a PS5 over a Switch 2

I would choose different console if i was a gamer.

As I said earlier, console waring BS. It's a piece of electronics that runs gaming software. If you're buying into consoles to somehow validate your gamer identity or something? Well if anything is "sad" here it's probably that

Ultimately, these platforms are all just different tools to achieve similar aims. It's kinda like how a teaspoon, tablespoon and ladle all perform a similar role. They're used for getting a portion of food. But each has their own strengths and weaknesses. You wouldn't use a ladle for measuring out coffee and a teaspoon for serving soup. I mean you could, but you'll have a bad time

It's kinda like how I have a decent PC, which is more capable than the PS5 Pro BTW, a Switch 2 and a small and incredibly pocketable portable emulation device. They're just different tools designed for a similar end, the enjoyment of games. I would argue a "true gamer" has multiple gaming devices, and they pick the best one for each task. And for me the space I tend to most be comfortable gaming (on the TV, occasionally in a comfy chair or in bed on a lazy Sunday).... the Switch form does a good job and the Switch 2 is an upgrade. Simple as that. And for me that's worth it

Wow, an incredibly relevant video from LTT for this thread. This is pretty much exactly what I've been saying (to much protest) in this and other threads. Super based take
