The Matrix Awakens - can the Switch 2 really do graphics this good? This is a question on the minds of many Nintendo fans as rumors circulate that the new console could be as powerful as the PlayStation 4, or even the Xbox Series S.
The reader warned of caution when it comes to these rumors, citing the fact that this has happened before. Every time a new console comes out, there are wild claims of it being more powerful than the last one, and usually the reality doesn’t live up to the hype.
Game trailers and tech demos have been released, and they look impressive, but the console and its games don't typically live up to the hype. So the reader is asking everyone to temper their expectations for the Switch 2, both for their own sake and for the sake of avoiding arguments on the internet.
The reader also mentioned that Nintendo hasn't made any official statements about the Switch 2, so the only evidence is second-hand accounts from people who were just eyeballing a mock-up device. It's hard to trust this kind of testimony, so for now, all we can do is wait and see what Nintendo's new console can do.
The reader also pointed out that Nintendo's success in the hardware market comes from simplicity -- they don't typically make overly expensive or complicated consoles. It's unlikely they'd abandon this philosophy for the Switch 2, so expecting it to be as powerful as an Xbox Series S is probably too much.
In the end, the reader concluded that graphics have never mattered for Nintendo games before and they won't ever again. If the Switch 2 has better graphics than expected, then that's a bonus -- but what really matters are the games it can play. So let's just sit back and see what Nintendo has in store for us.
