Among experts discussing the technical specifications of the potential Nintendo Switch 2, PlayStation has served as the dominant comparison for many analysts.
To put it simply, can you tell me where this hybrid hardware falls between the PlayStation 4 and the PlayStation 5 in terms of power? Is it capable of delivering the top-tier performance of a PlayStation 4 Pro, or does it lean more towards Sony’s current high-end console, the PlayStation 5?
In essence, since there’s no official info or dismantling by Nintendo yet, we can’t make a definitive statement. However, technology analysts at Digital Foundry propose that, for the time being, the PlayStation 4 (original version) might serve as the most suitable comparison.
Based on what we’ve seen so far, that’s about the kind of outcomes the hardware seems to be generating.
In the extensive video they produced, the team point out that cross-format titles such as Elden Ring and Yakuza 0 appear to deliver very similar graphics on PlayStation 4.
The Enhanced Version of Final Fantasy 7 Remake, accessible only on PlayStation 5 and PC until now, serves as the basis for the Switch 2 edition. However, it’s worth mentioning that this version boasts improved lighting compared to the original release, which is a significant upgrade.
During the Nintendo Direct event, clips from the unplayable Star Wars Outlaws game on PS4 appeared incredibly impressive. However, Digital Foundry expresses doubt about which hardware was used to record these visuals. On the other hand, it’s already been confirmed that the Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3 + 4 footage shown was captured on a PC system.
It’s worth mentioning that the Switch 2 outperforms the PS4 in several aspects, such as its modern architecture and cutting-edge features like DLSS. However, it’s important to keep in mind that these advanced capabilities come at a performance cost due to the AI upscaler. Additionally, it should be noted that the hybrid console has significantly less power consumption compared to the PS4.
So, it’ll be interesting to see how the system matures and whether it can keep pace with the PS5.
For Nintendo, it’s advantageous that numerous cross-format games are still under development, primarily aimed at the PS4, with some creators also considering the less powerful Xbox Series S. These adjustments might actually benefit Nintendo, particularly in the case of Super Mario.
