Any info on the hardware, is it at least comparable to the previous gen (PS4) or is that wishful thinking?

With what Digital Foundry suggested, it's def stronger than the PS4. But the hardware is also more modern than the PS4. So it can approach the PS4 Pro area with good optimization. Which is what I expect Nintendo First Party games should achieve.

One thing to also note is the Series S. Switch 2 has more RAM and has DLSS present. Altho Series S has more raw power. In all honestly if any game can run on Seires S, I can imagine it could be ported to Switch 2 if they really want to. Games at the scale of GTA & Cyberpunk I wouldn't touch on Switch 2, even if they end up on it. Though I do question why anyone would want to play them on Series S as well.

This guy did a tear down of the Switch 2 motherboard.



TL:DR It’s above base PS4 and slightly on par with PS4 Pro but with modern architecture in docked mode. With handheld mode being around base PS4.

I got the invite from Nintendo..but I already scored 2, one for me and one for my niece, so I don't need it. I tried to use just to buy a pro controller and GameCube controller but I can't without buying the console :mjcry:

I began to realize I became old when commercials like this came out with celebrities (they are celebrities right?) in them and I didn't know who they were. When I was younger I kept up with pop culture and if a celebrity appeared in a commercial I'd usually know who it was.

That's Nintendo Australia. If you're Australian you may know who they are.
