The Switch CPU performs extremely poorly as far as gaming is concerned. Case in point, you cited Cities: Skylines, a quick web search suggests performance is terrible on the Switch and it seems to have been abandoned shortly after release.
While I don't doubt the Switch 2 CPU will be sufficient for games released by Nintendo, from a broader gaming perspective (gaming is not only Nintendo), it is likely the Switch 2 CPU will also be subpar and will perform worse than the Steam Deck (which is a handheld and its CPU is also subject to efficiency requirements). Whether Nintendo users know/care/don't care about this is irrelevant. We are talking about objective facts.
I swear, every time into one of these the Dunning-Kruger gets me.
I know it's coming, but it gets me anyway.
Keep telling yourself that!
You don't know anything about the Switch 2's CPU and you just assumed it will be better because "trust me bro".
And you have the gall to call other people stupid (note that I never insulted you) and in such passive-aggressive way too.
