Not sure if you mean next gen Switch release in 2020 or manufactured, but I think NS should be able to hit the 5 yr minimum (i realize 4 yr span gba to ds). On top of that, after a successful launch with great demand etc I think Nintendo will be comfortable releasing in March going forward, as its a shorter calendar leading up to the holidays while avoiding the 2-3 month lull that usually follows . would also make sense If PS5 and Xbox Goliath launch in late 2020 to avoid the wallet competition. But regardless, 4k should be the next target for Nintendo 1st party games & that means a decently powered base to clock up from ie quad HD/1440p screen portable . NVidia will have the tech available I have no doubt, the Xavier volta has double the cores of the X1/X2 and its power rated around what you have listed. http://wccftech.com/nvidia-xavier-soc-tegra-volta-gpu-announced/ that tech will be available later this yr, so I think nintendo can get a half step above that in several years without being too "cutting edge", so maybe 768 cores on 7nm tech. Should easily eclipse 2 tf and the modern architecture would give nice performance for Nintendo styled 4k games. |
I think Nintendo should just dump the "5 year minimum". Switch can be a new product line and make it's own rules, I think it would be kinda dissapointing actually if it just slavishly adhered to the same rules of the past.
I don't see 4K being the target for the next Nintendo system either to be honest. You're going to get PS4 like visuals, and you're going to like it (or not).
To be honest looking at a game like Horizon and imagining what Nintendo devs could produce visually on such hardware is astounding to think about.
