The WiiU wasn’t more powerful than the competition but the old ones where, they gave up on compeating in terms of specs with the Wii and the Swit h uses a mobile processor that was old and slow even when it came out and can easily be surpassed by most phones if it wasn’t for the insane optimisation. They continue to proof that games matter more than specs and that’s a very profitable and well working strategy so idk where you got those rumors from but I am 99% sure the next switch will have a relatively slow ARM processor again and there is nothing wromg with that if it’s enough fun, it just requires a lot of work from the game developers that not all of them are willing to put in. About the typos, no keyboard in the world can fix my drunken typing and I am fairly happy with mine but thanks for the suggestion I guess…
Comment on Valve: don’t expect a faster Steam Deck ‘in the next couple of years’
echo64@lemmy.world 9 months ago- famicom: very competitive at the time, advanced in some areas
- snes: very competitive, more powerful in many regards
- n64: widely accepted as the most powerful of that generation
- gamecube: more powerful than ps2
- wii: this one is the least powerful you have that.
- wiiu: widely accepted as more powerful than x360/ps3
- switch: powerful hardware for a handheld of the time.
- rumoured switch successor: rumored to basically be a portable ps4.
Your theory does not hold water. And it is full of typos. You need a better mobile keyboard.

The switch 2 is rumored to be more powerful than the ps4 an old console at this point in time that also had relatively seeker hardware than it could or should of at the time (same with Xbox the and jaguar cores were not that good)

I can’t really comment on the earlier consoles, but those are some pretty biased comparisons.
The GameCube is more powerful than the PS2, but then the Xbox was more powerful than the GameCube. Then you have the Wii. But then WiiU being more powerful than a console coming out 6 years prior? What kind of argument is that?
The argument for the Switch doesn’t prove anything when there’s very little investment in the handheld console market when the Switch came out. And also, who cares if the Switch’s successor can beat a decade old console?

Not only that but the processor it had was like a 2 year old design when switch was released
