What do you want in a Switch 2?

Why are you constantly talking about the PS4?  Switch 2 will be competing with PS5/XBSX

i use EA and Activision as an example because they make games for "mass market". If they can't be fucked porting a game to Switch t means it is too much effort to port it.

If it cost them peanuts to port they would be porting. The Switch has sold more than xbox one, yet xbox one still gets multi platform games because it is easy to port.

Here is another angle

When are you expecting the Switch 2 to come out? how many TFLOPs do you think Nvidia will be able to fit in for 10Watts of power by that release date? I just can't see anything on the horizon that will bridge the game in that time frame, considering we have gone from X1 which is 0.6 or so TFLOPs to Xavier being 0.8TFLOPs @ 10Watts / 1.4TFLOPS @30Watts (for automotive applications) in all this time so far.

Orin is rumored to be 65Watts and that isn't due till 2022.

The hell is that first sentence supposed to mean? The switch 2 will be quite more capable than a ps4 and thus have no trouble getting multiplats with ps5/xsx. I already said many times I expect a switch 2 in holidays 2022.

Stop talking about effing flops. Nintendo will use whatever 7-8nm gpu is in the making from nvidia that fits their budget/power consumption plan. Just like they did with the switch.

I know you said 2022, I was getting you to restate it because there is no way no how in 2022 a Switch 2 will have anything close hardware wise to being able to handle PS5 ports without huge sacrifices and effort/time by developers to get it to work. most publishers will not fund that kind of effort.

 Why would I stop talking about FLOPs? you seem to think there is some magic sauce that will make Switch 2 be able to get ports form a 9.2TFLOP and 12TFLOP based machines. YES we get it that Nvidia per FLOP performance is better than AMD, but it is not even 2x better. 

Now if all the jump you are expecting is PS4 level, then there is no point releasing a switch 2 in 2022. May as well extend the generation and call it what it is, a portable console that connects to a TV that is mainly for Nintendo games and exclusive 3rd party content with some rare blurry effort of ports from home consoles.

The reason I say extend it, is because who are they really competing with at this point? No one. Not like I will be upset if the next two Zelda games look graphically the same. I can't get a better fix on the PS5 of Zelda, so there is no need to bump up to a Switch 2 for minimal gain. May as well wait and go hard
