DF didnt want to show you both the SS and Switch 2 side by side for some reason...even though they made it their business to mention the SX version as being "not really interesting"...so here it is. Ill do it.

When you realize the Switch 2 costs more, has more ram than Series S and is newer than Series S, you expect it to be better all around. Nintendo fans are praising their console (rightfully so) now just imagine how much of a marvel the Series S really is. An amazing piece of tech

Because Series S has faster RAM, GDDR6 vs Switch 2's LPDDR5X. Thought DF knew this. 🤦🏾‍♂️

I love my series s, i take it with me when traveling as is so light and small to travel with. Awesome little console. Switch 2 is awesome too and getting FF7 Remake on both platforms is a great win for gamers. I played both FF7 games on my PS5 but will happily jump in on xbox/Switch2.

Pathetic on Nintendo part for sure. This proves how outdated Nintendo tech is compared to ps xbox or pc handhelds. This might be the beginning of the end for Nintendo

Power consumption and bandwidth are also lower on the Switch 2. There are more factors you should be focusing on, not the RAM in its totality.

Series S my beloved. ❤️ An underrated beast.

is this because series s has the faster cartridge that allows it to pull textures faster from the storage ? @blueisviolet xitter.twitterapi.xyz/digitalfoundry/status/…

@PaulGaleNetwork saying the Switch runs games better than the Series S is just misinformation

Series S has double the memory bandwidth so I dunno why you guys are saying “curiously.” I kept telling Nintendo fans that even though Series S is a potato, it’s still a home console. Switch 2 is a handheld that hooks up to a TV so it’s even more of a toaster.

If they hate you, there`s a reason for that. Loving FFVIIR on the S2. Shame it's only digital, if there was a version with the game on the cartridge it would be epic. >> someone saying that a game runs slower on the cartridge x on the SSD in 3...2...1... >>>

So, @XboxP3 with the last bad results of Xbox, its not time to change something? Marketing (everything is a Xbox is awful), the team is hurting Xbox a lot. Its not time to change something in strategy?

1GB RAM different for games isn't big when the memory and storage bandwidth is around twice more on SS when Switch 2 is at its best docked mode.

The Series S is an excellent console. If the Wuhan virus had not spread worldwide, there would have been a much higher chance of many more outstanding games being released for the Series S. Due to the creation of a remote working environment, the number of developers lacking ability increased significantly, and as a result, the Series S suffered enormous damage.

Xbox is the best. Xbox es mejor por eso.

In your minds, we'd get rid of the hardware just to pay a lot for Game Pass every month and play through the xCloud app on the TV. For the next generation, focus on or shut down the Xbox division.

I bet that hurt to say.

U see this series s was a very good console yet devs came out and talked shit about it but switch 2 that is new has more ram and gets less performance than series s these same devs are not talking shit about switch 2 u should sue these devs for lose of sales on series s

208gb/s vs 68gb/s one is slower than the other you don't say.
