eh.. I give this prediction a ~5% chance
there will very certainly be hardware revisions that change the APU die size/mainboard and probably affect battery size, pretty much every console that is seen as "success" had these (I'm unsure about N64 though)
but even if those "don't count" there is a very decent chance for a mini or handheld only Switch, as this could deal reduce prize and size, which both are suboptimal for a handheld and there is a good chunk of customers who'd buy it as a handheld/never use docked
| fatslob-:O said: I almost agree with OP, revisions are going to become less frequent with the Switch ... Transistor technology progression is slowing down ... (less chances to upgrade the chips) Big form factor ? (how much bigger does the Switch need to be ?) Non-portable SKU ? (effectively kills one of the selling points of the platform) |
wat ? we had 14/16nm node roll out in 2014, the 10nm node has gone live this year and 7nm is expected to hit in 2019/2020 - transistor tech has accelrated this gen
