| Ck1x said: I don't get why people think that both Sony and Microsoft can use gpu tech not even in current AMD cards(and they are), but Nintendo getting a custom SoC would be too expensive. Nintendo could easily ask Nvidia to use a cut down version of the gtx 1660 with 4 -A76 cpu cores. It will definitely cost more than the current X1, but those cards are currently under $200 and I'm positive that's not what Nintendo would remotely pay for them. I definitely get that Flops aren't the whole story, but they are the new measuring stick for gamers to have an idea of the systems capability. Many years ago people were impressed with pps(polygons per second) and now its Tflops... |
Not that simple I am afraid.
| Ck1x said: Keeping expectations in check is fine, as I don't think many of our list are out of the norm of reality. (What Nintendo chooses to do is another factor all together though) If you asked me years ago I would totally say that Nintendo is a company that just doesn't care about specs at all anymore. But after them making a game like BoTW which cleary could benefit from a system with higher specifications. They know that sacrifices had to be made because of hardware limitations even for a launch game. They have also shown a much greater interest in receiving 3rd party games like they have never publicly shown before. |
Breath of the Wild is a game built with the Nintendo WiiU's hardware in mind, the Switch version of the game didn't really improve the visuals substantially outside of a boost to resolution when they could have done allot more.
