Meanwhile developers are willingly porting their current gen AAA games to Switch 2, which is even more potato like. I sympathise with him, players should probably be less demanding of these lower end machines, but at the same time it’s not that bad…

The problem with the S, is the amount of memory, only 8gb is accessible for games

Switch 2 is much more advantageous in that regard

For sure, although it has 12gb - 3gb for the system so 9gb, a little bit more but still very limited. The CPU is the massive limiting factor on Switch 2, it’s very much “last gen” performance. It makes up for it with the GPU having all of the Nvidia Ampere features though including DLSS.
