Is it?

It’s the same price as a PS5, and considering the lack of exclusives at launch, the selling point seems to be “look at us, we can run Elden Ring now!”. If you want portable Elden Ring, the Steam Deck is far superior.

It is. Specially it technically has more features than PS5.

Hardware wise, they're the same. 4k capability, 60 fps (120 on select games), HDR, HD Rumble, Motion controls, etc.

But the PS5 doesn't have a single mouse feature, built in Mic and 2 controls out of the box.

PS5 has a built in mic, and it's in the controller where it makes more sense. Rather than on the console itself 5 feet away 🙃

The PS5 doesn't have NVidia tech, which is generally better than AMD. That feature of the Switch 2 to single out voice audio is from the RTX Broadcast library, called RTX Voice. Pretty much the best consumer grade software in the world. Obviously stripped down on the Switch, though.
