| SuperNova said: Switch is clearly pivoting to a family of systems that all run the same software, on largely the same hardware á la Apples mobile device family. So I think the future is less dependant on an actual Hybrid formfactor existing, (although I love it and think they should continue that formfactor going forward) than on the idea that all of their Hardware is going to run the same SoC, regardless of formfactor. The unification of their HC and HH decisions has been really beneficial to Nintendos release schedule and the fact that the consumer gets to take the full HC experience on the go continues to be a major selling point in their favour. I don‘t see them giving those benefits up again. So even if they split into HH and HC skus again at some point, I expect the internals to be largely identical between all formfactors going forward. That being said, they should absolutely go forward with the hybrid as the lead formfactor, imo. |
Indeed, even Iwata mentioned it back in the NX days.
Next device will be a Switch TV rather than the PRO some are campaigning for.
