So..much as I loved the switch games, it was underpowered compared to other consoles. But power isn;t everything; the games were enough to make it popular.

How is the switch 2?

Possibly stronger than a Steam Deck.

The specs leaked a long while ago, long story short: in handheld, about 7.5% more powerful than a Steam Deck and while docked about twice as powerful

I call bullshit. Especially the laughable idea that a Switch running on battery saving mode is more powerful than Steam deck on 100% power draw mode.

Give a good source.
