  • 100.0%. There is just no benefit whatsoever to rocking that boat. The Switch is a converted Android gizmo, ARM is still the only sane answer for high-performance mobile platforms, and their video hardware is from the company that bought ARM. To say nothing of the PR shitstorm it would be to slice their market in half.

    That said, you’ll still have to buy Virtual Console games separately, because Nintendo.


  • If they don’t embrace G-Sync, they’re fools. It’s such an obvious advantage for power-constrained rendering where they provide the screen.

    Also yeah obviously fix the damn drift. Joysticks are not unexplored technology. At some point you’re begging for a lawsuit over basic consumer protection. If you can’t be arsed to fix a problem everyone complains about, when it’d cost 0.01% of MSRP to address, you’re doing capitalism wrong. Grease your squeaky wheel already.

    Beyond that… I’m not expecting any huge leaps. Look at the DS line and how it printed money. Those occasional upgrades, not quite generational, balanced ongoing software compatibility with eager hardware adoption. Consider how they still own the entire handheld console space, somehow. There’s no overwhelming motivation to reach for immense power or gobs more memory. If they get Unreal 5 looking good at a whopping 1080p40, they’re golden for another five years.
