Yes, the Jada is an improvement from the ReSaurus Street Fighter line I grew up with but they just don't do it for me not even when you look at the 'value' for the line. Yet reviewers rave about them.
Like I said the Switch 2 is an odd mix of regressive and progressive tech. It can do stuff the Series S cannot like ray tracing and 4K resolution as well as DLSS. And, the SF6 game featured on Switch 2 appears to output better textures than the Series S version, yet on paper, the Switch 2 is weaker. Likewise, the PS4 game FF7 Remake running on a PS5 has less vibrant colors than the Switch 2 console. So, yes, the Switch 2 is simultaneously weaker and stronger than the Series S (not to mention discrepancies in handheld and docked mode).
But here's my main issue in down-rating a product because of price. How do I know if I can trust a 7/10 product (that in all fairness should have been reviewed 9/10 but was rated down because of higher asking price) is objectively a 7/10 product. Like what if it isn't 7/10 aesthetics wise, or in terms of shelf presence yet a review like that would lead me to believe it is mediocre. For me personally, I would prefer price to be excluded as a factor from reviews, but a number of reviewers (e.g. Nostalgia Unboxed) factor in price substantially in their final assessment.
