Why is anyone even thinking it's even remotely possible, much less plauible or likely that Nintendo is going to release a newer, much more powerful Switch just 2.5 years max after the original came out? Sure, you'll probably get a Switch Lite, or Switch-i, or something to perhaps offer home mode in portable form, and improve the battery life significantly. Just like they did for pretty much all of their older generations of handhelds. Why are we now expecting something different out of Nintendo |
Basically Tegra gives Nintendo the possibility for an Xbox like approach, being forward compatible but having higher res/more fx and better textures etc. on a Switch 'Pro'.
And DSi as well as New 3DS were improved variants with more RAM and higher CPU-clock. So Nintendo has done more powerful variants before and Tegra makes a more powerful version of Switch pretty easy in the near future.
I really think though that they go for lower price and longer battery life first.
