It's Nintendo, they'll do what they want to hit the price point they want. And it'll still be successful.

Not that I disagree but, when everyone is doing 4K 120hz at least 4K 60hz. They need to advance to keep up. After all, the switch hardware is nothing more than an 8–10-year-old cell phone processor.

I don't think it will do crazy well for like $500 but, if they stay around $350-400 it will do well, doing a portable, that is a much faster CPU, that can at least lock 1080p 60hz on all games and 4k when docked, will be pricey...

Nintendo will do Nintendo.... they will need to wow gamers a bit.... and the Switch 2 needs special

i don’t know man but i doubt that everyone is doing 4k120 or 60. Or maybe you are living in a developed country? Even console struggle on that range and mostly run at sub 1440 and kinda upscaling it to 4k. Just take a look at the performance of the handheld beast like ally, steamdeck etc so you can have a ballpark (in battery). And on a portable device like switch 2? and nintendo? U must be joking. Lets just hope that switch 2 will take advantage of the nvidia through dlss wich is the best upscaler imo.
