I can't believe that they jacked up the Switch 2's price by $150. Somewhere between 300 and 450 is my limit for a console I suppose, because I bought a switch 1 and was pretty satisfied with it (although I haven't used it in a couple of years because emulation is just better) but a switch 2 seems like a complete non starter to me.
It literally looks the same just with a bigger screen. The graphics don’t seem to be any different, the only difference seems to be the label for which console the games belong to
1280*//720=921,600
1920*//1080=2,073,600
It’s more than double the pixels displayed in handheld mode, and double again the pixels displayed in docked mode. Resolution is expensive.
Also at theoretically 120hz that takes a lot more CPU and GPU power.
Will games ever run at 120hz? Probably not, but in theory they could if a dev took the time to optimize the shit out of their game.
Even 40fps at 120hz is a good use of it, I love when devs do that on ps5. It’s so much smoother than 30, but without quite the trade off graphically of 60.
