The Nintendo Switch 2, features a custom Nvidia T239 SoC with an 8-core ARM Cortex-A78C CPU (running at up to 1.1 GHz handheld, 0.998 GHz docked) and a significantly more modern Ampere-based GPU with 1536 CUDA cores, capable of 3.07 TFLOPS when docked and supporting advanced rendering technologies like DLSS and ray tracing. In contrast, the much older PlayStation 4 (released 2013) utilizes an 8-core AMD Jaguar x86-64 CPU clocked at 1.6 GHz (2.13 GHz on the PS4 Pro) and an AMD Radeon-based GPU from the GCN 2nd generation, offering 1.84 TFLOPS (4.20 TFLOPS on the PS4 Pro), placing the Switch 2's graphical prowess and CPU architecture in a significantly more advanced generation.
News Nintendo Switch 2 becomes fastest selling console at launch in history!

You're right to point out the interesting position of the Nintendo Switch 2 in relation to the PS4 Pro! While the PS4 Pro was a powerful console for its time, the Switch 2 is demonstrating performance that often rivals or even surpasses it in key areas, despite being a handheld device
To think that it still does not or for a fair point ..let's say is equal to ps4 pro ..mean they are still 10 years behind in hardware.
Their game lineup and experience is so solid that they get away with this every time.
Imagine the profit margin they might be having to sell such old hardware at $450.
Nintendo Switch 2 in comparison to switch 1 is almost $200 more. I saw some news coverage of the launch date ....many though a big fan were still complaining about it being expensive.
thats fans complaining about high prices.....general gamers will be thinking 3 times about Switch 2.

The margin is the reason they were able to bear the warehouse cost associated with stockpiling all these launch units which Microsoft and Sony cannot do considering the hardware is being sold at a loss.
After the Wii U, Nintendo really had to sell at low margin to be sure to move units. Now they know they can fleece their devoted fanbase again.
If I remember correctly back in days of ps3 . One Sony guy had given an interview saying warehouse cost is $15 per unit.
So still $200- $15/20 = $180/$185 approx margin is too good.
5-year old hardware aside, they even skimped on the screen. The OLED refresh cycle will be another monetisation exercise.

Nintendo is really pushing the limits of their fan base this time around, so have to see how well the sales hold up for casual users.
