🌸Beforꦉe we all finally got our hands on the Switch 2 last week, one of the biggest question marks surrounding the console was how powerful it was going to be.

I Accidentally Got A Nintendo Switch 2 And It's Exactly What I Feared
What could be t♚he problem with a follow-up🍨 to my favourite console?
Now that the Switch 2 is 💙out there and those o♌f us lucky enough to pre-order one have played it, it's become very clear that it's qui♏te the powerful machine. , but it seems to have gone further than that, something that's been backed up by a major publisher.
No, The Nintendo Switch 2 Isn't As Powerful As A PS4

and , Koei Tecmo producer Takuto Edagawa recently spoke out about the Switch 2's upcoming pꦕort of Wild Hearts, Wild Hearts S. While chatting about the console's power, Edagawa noted that it's actually closer to the Xbox Series S than a PS4.
, E🔯dagawa is asked whether the Switch 2 ꦕis closer to the PS4 or Xbox Series S, which leads him to say that, although it's "difficult to generalise", the console is closer to the Xbox Series S overall. That's in terms of "raw computing power", which Edagawa is likely more aware of having actually worked with the console.
There are a lot of characteristics when it comes to ra𒁏w computing power, so it's difficult to generalise,෴ but I think it can be thought as closer to the Series S. - Takuto Edagawa
While it's nice to have confirmation from someone with experience developing for the Switch 2, that claim shouldn't really come as a surprise. With ports of games like Street Fighter 6 and Cyberpunk 💝2077, it's become clear very quickly that the Switch 2 💜isn't close to the PS4 like so many thought it would be ဣbased on the original specs.
