I think that Nintendo gamers still want a light and comfortable console that would last long on battery, so focusing on power would be unwise. Piracy isn't really an argument. Anything can be emulated, but then you need to always respect those 15 watt requirements to make a fully portable console, or you end up with a Game Gear (trounced by Game Boy competition). Even the Steam Deck, that's conservative on power in respect to other makers, don't last long on battery.

That's because of heat, on a phone it throttle down. S8G2 is the same.

Yes. nVidia do privide also software tools that Qualcomm or others have not in their portfolio. I suppose it will be a new consumer Tegra (X3?).

Wel, eventually it will not need to throttle down like phones. AMD has no expertize with ARM. nVidia also said in the past that the deal with Nintendo would have been 20 years long. Snapdragon it's really strong, like a top-end Intel mobile offering, in the GPU side.

You can have 60 fps with any console, it only depends by the speed/quality ratio decided by the developer. I'm good with 30, though. It's the sub-30, the stuttering, the biggest letdown, in my opinion.

A Tegra 2 paired with 16 GB. It's so low performance that has little sense. It also would be quite expensive. 4k DLSS isn't Tegra 2 range.

Well, I like my current Nintendo Switch, I suppose that I would like anything better than just an overclocked Tegra 2. If it will be like just a Wii (an overclocked GameCube) I would be quite deluded, like I was with the Wii (I find every other Nintendo console cool). Steam Deck looks bulky, somewhat unattractive.

Still, you need more performance to have new games, otherwise you will have rehashes of the same games and people will bore out.

Most, probably, still there are hardware passionates, and those are a moltitude. Me do like hardware as if it would be a work of art. It's like for games, they are two different types of human's expression.

Some people do like hardware too. I always liked technology, for example. Hopefully it will have the same good support of the Nintendo Switch.

A Tegra 2 with 16 GB of RAM would be a waste; also, RAM is pricey. But they need new technology to sell the new hardware, even if cheap technology.

They did it with the Famicom, 3DS, Game Boy Advance. It's normal practice with other companies.

Yes, in full 480p/30 glory. 😜

Conservative in processing power, that was the context. Joy-Con are certainly innovative.

Nope, it was the Xbox.

Sure, no one questioning it, I'm happy with my Switch, still isn't it cool talking about the hardware too? I like both games and hardware features.
