Hmm I’m not sure I follow the author’s argument here. Nintendo hasn’t been trying to keep up with the power of Xbox or PS consoles for years, that’s nothing new. But the Switch 2 is essentially a Switch with some upgrades and… better specs. If they’d ‘moved beyond specs’ then they’d have no need for a new Switch model.
They moved beyond talking about them and marketing them. Their competitors have not. That’s the point being made, not that specs don’t matter in any way.
Yeah like the closest Nintendo has got to mentioning specs is just a bigger OLED screen, which is so obvious it could barely be considered a spec drop.
