"the unannounced Switch successor console has an 8-inch LCD screen and launches later in 2024. For context, the standard Switch has a 6.2-inch screen on the diagonal, and the OLED has a 7-inch screen."

It'll be flimsy, the controls will fail, the games will NEVER go down in price, the screen will be just too large to be comfortable as a touchscreen, the hardware will be outdated, the graphics will be meh, and the system software itself will be clunky amd slow.

It'll sell 200 million and I don't understand people.

Maybe, just maybe, you’re not the target audience. The games are usually fun. It’s portable without being “weird” to those that don’t really understand what the stream deck is. It appeals to both parents and kids. It may not do anything that can’t be done elsewhere, but it’s far more approachable than most alternatives.

You don’t have to understand people, my dear. Put your phone down, go outside, love the life you have.

All the whole not upgrading the resolution to be compatible with 4K TVs

[–] [email protected] 6 points 9 months ago

I’m okay with 1080p, it’s the slowdowns in FPS that hurt me. If I had to pick one I’d pick consistent 60fps over 4K. Too many games dip under 30 on switch these days.

I'd be really surprised if it didn't at least have 4k upscaling and HDR.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 9 months ago

Yeah, nvidia has done pretty reasonable at upscaling with DLSS. It's not native, and it doesn't look native, but it looks a lot better than FSR and a lot better than TV upscaling.

It's the CPU I'm still worried about. Apple Silicon does beautiful with ARM, but I think actual ARM designs are going to be the biggest limitation to the capability of a new switch. They're competing with really nice Ryzen-based chips on the other consoles.
