I don’t think catching up to graphical horsepower is really any concern as far as first party games go. I mean, the vast majority of Nintendo IPs are not the sort of games that would or should use a hyper realistic look and how more horsepower do they really need to better execute art styles for things like the Mario or Zelda games than they already have with Switch? So in that sense, I feel like they could milk Switch all the way through this whole new gen if they wanted to. The only issue that arises there is third parties. How long will they be willing to devote the time and resources to still develop their new games for Switch if the technical gap keeps getting bigger and bigger as the next gen goes on? And how important is it for Switch to have that support? Basically though, I think it’s going to need to be for another reason besides horsepower if Nintendo chooses to release a successor anytime over the course of the next gen. Like maybe they will actually give the VR thing a proper go, I still expect them to go that route at some point in the next decade.
