Short answer?

Switch 2 leads on the AI ranking; Quest 4 doesn't take any single point outright — pick it only if those don't matter to you.

How this is made

Built from what 3 AI models (ChatGPT · Gemini · Claude) recommend for real buyer questions, layered with reviewer test summaries, Google buyer ratings, street prices and press. The short answer and verdict are derived from where those signals diverge — not written by hand for either product.
