Im not so sure I agree with some of this. They absolutely need to focus on power cause at this point you can emulate switch games and have a better gaming experience on a mobile device. Couple that with the Steam Deck and no im not comparing them and understand the difference in pricing, games and experience but nonetheless its more competition in the mobile gaming market. I know everyone thinks they like the 300 dollar price but AMD/SS has some new chips coming out that could really be beneficial for them to. Basically it comes down to this, they will either need to beef up or offer 2 versions from the get-go not years later. Switch 2 (OLED standard 350) and Switch 2 Deluxe (500). The former being the semi pathetic maybe tiny bit better (or worse) than the SD8 G2 the other rocking the new RDNA 2/Exynos (hopefully 3) mobile chips. That was me dreaming but lets say Nintendo being Nintendo does what Nintendo usually does and that's stick to the formula that worked so great last time. Before I continue I say we not forget they went with Nvidia cause they probably stole those X1 chips I mean Team Green had tons left over and they have stopped giving two crap about upgrading the ARM stuff. That said lets say they do stay with Nvidia I pray they see that its not a risk (not profitable) now and make a whole new chip and not use their Drive cards (orin possibly Thor) with Lovelace and get that beautiful DLSS which should by all accounts push it into 4K no problem docked. They HAVE to make one of these choices! Anbody who can tell me the Switch isn't already ancient and running some of these ports so badly you get a refund you'd be a liar. They need to avoid that this time and invest into cloud to compensate as well. To bad we didn't let Microsoft do their thing and crucified them instead cause I think cloud computing for consoles would be much further along.
