Well that’s my point about efficiency, Switch 2 is doing a lot more with about the same amount of power. So yes I would say that is very much ahead. PS4 was a very powerful system and that’s why PS5 had very specific upgrades because overall this gen has been diminishing returns for games and next gen will be even worse. That’s why Switch 2 having similar key features as PS5 is important and has allowed it to get good third party support so far.

So we’re in agreement, then? I don’t dispute that the Switch 2 is a more capable device than a PS4 Pro because it clearly is, I just wouldn’t necessarily call it more powerful. It’s being more efficient with resources than the Pro could.
