Nintendo Switch 2 leak has fans tempering their expectations

Less than four days ago, I wrote an article discussing how the recent leaks for the Nintendo Switch 2 described the upcoming system as being on par with the PlayStation 4 Pro.

Today I’m here to tell you that one well-respected video game journalist seems to be implying that certainly won’t be the case.

The new info, if you can call it that, comes from The Verge’s senior editor Tom Warren over on Twitter.

“there are so many rumors floating around about the Switch 2,” Warren wrote in a recent Tweet, “but the funniest one is about it being as powerful as a PS4 Pro…”

Now, if you wanna enter full cope mode, this could actually be implying something positive, as Warren’s statement is pretty open-ended.

It could mean that he thinks, for whatever reason, that the system might actually end up being more powerful than the PlayStation 4 Pro.

Let’s be real though, the Tweet is almost definitely implying the opposite.

So, what could Warren possibly be basing this on? The short answer is, we have no idea. The long answer is that he’s probably heard something that everyone else hasn’t.

Honestly, it’s a bit of a Wild West situation with Nintendo Switch 2 rumours at the moment. There’s so much conflicting information flying around it’s getting difficult to verify who is simply clout chasing and who has actually managed to uncover some genuine information.

Personally, I’m heavily leaning towards trusting Tom Warren on this one.

He’s done great work in the past, and one casual look at his portfolio of work should show you that he doesn’t mess around when it comes to verifying his sources.

Ultimately there’s really no way for us to know what’s true and what’s rubbish until Nintendo officially unveils the system… whenever that will be.
