Making it glass would leave it prone to cracks, and a 1080p-4k screen would simply destroy the battery, something people complained about as well. Either we get a good screen with acceptable battery life or a spectacular screen with horrendous battery life. have both and you get a higher price tag, something no one would want |
If battery was such a huge concern they would have used a more efficient SoC such as the Pascal based Tegra.
Also. The display technology itself is more important than the displays resolutions in regards to power consumption. You *can* have higher resolution panels consume less power than lower resolution panels. Samsung did it.
Nintendo could have also opted for a different battery chemistry which was also denser in terms of capacity.
Battery life is just a terrible excuse, Nintendo could have chosen better components. They exist. They are available. It's what *I* would have wanted, which may not align to what someone else wants. And that is okay.
