| Soundwave said: Cool video. Kinda restates some stuff I've said before, but a "Switch+" model is basically possible already. |
That's just a given when you are taking hardware off the shelf.
If it was a custom chip, then such iterative upgrades do tend to get a little more difficult.
| Goodnightmoon said: This constant need for more power is pathetic, people doesn't want that, Switch sales will prove it. |
PC, PS4, Xbox One say otherwise.
Sure there will be people who don't care about power, but there are plenty of people who do care about power.
Just like there are people who love The Last of Us... And other people who can't stand it. Not everyone likes/dislikes the same thing we are all different.
| RolStoppable said: There's also no need to increase the resolution of Switch, because 720p offers good pixel density on a 6" screen. The power efficiency of a new Tegra is better put into better battery life, because that matters a lot more. |
I disagree. 720P is terrible on a 6" panel. It's more acceptable on a 4" screen... Even then I would still want more.
Besides, Switch is NOT using the most efficient display anyway, there have been plenty of prior examples where a newer, higher resolution, brighter display has consumed LESS energy than the older panel.
The Switch is also not using the most efficient SoC, it's not even using the most energy dense battery. There are gains to be had everywhere, but they do tend to cost.
I ideally wanted the Switch to have an 8-9" screen with a 1440P AMOLED or better panel, it's 2017, 720P looks like shit.
If Nintendo can deliver the goods with a Switch successor/update, I'll be onboard. They lost me when they revealed the specs initiatlly for the Switch, I'm a hardware enthusiast and expect more for my dollar.
