I flew too close to the 1TF sun and my Switch wings melted.

There will be Switch revisions and maybe TV only model like the PS TV sure. 

If you think there will be an entirely different Nintendo platform on top of the Switch in 2-3 years ... I gotta say I think hell no is that happening. 

Nintendo wouldn't be able to able to support said platforms, and what would that system even be? An 8 TFLOP hardcore console? C'mon. That'll happen right after Nintendo takes 10 years making a Zelda game that actually utilizes its power. 

Switch is it for Nintendo. If it goes, then IMO so goes Nintendo hardware for the most part. You might get like a cheap Game Boy type platform, but largely I think they would move on to other platforms, or maybe even just make a Nintendo controller for smartphones/tablets and let that be that. 

Never said anything about an entirely different platform, that wouldn't make any sense. You keep saying stuff I didn't say, stay on point dude.

 

I don't really think we're disagreeing then if what you're saying is Nintendo is going to make other iterations of the Switch. 

Do I think you're getting a 2.5 TFLOP Switch though? Nope. 

The problem with that reasoning is the game is going to have to run on that undocked spec (160 GFLOPS @300 MHz). I don't think Nintendo will allow Switch games that don't work on the main Switch unit. That's the problem is you're hamstrung by that lower spec. 

I mean like how is this going to work? Imagine a Switch owner buys The Witcher IV or whatever on Switch which runs at super-duper 1080p whatever on the new Switch Pro. 

But if that person doesn't have Switch Pro, and just a regular Switch, does that mean the screen just goes black when they undock their Switch? I dunno if Nintendo will allow that. It breaks the entire "Switch" concept if you're going to have games that only run on the higher specced versions of the Switch and don't allow you to "Switch" if you have the original Switch model.
