That does not change the fact that there's already better mobile tech, even if that tech is still not implemented in the dedicated videogame market. Nvidia is already working on some other new tech and architecture like amprere or the DLSS 2.0. - By holiday 2002 or Spring 2023 the Switch woul have the same active life than both DS and 3DS (6 years). - Releasing the succesor by the time those games come, it would led to very late ports, or rushed ones. My assumptions comes from Nintendo wanting to get those games as near as possible from the original release, or even at the same time. |
- NASA super computers are better tech then what goes into most gaming PCs does that mean they're relevant when talking about dedicated gaming builds no so fact is if it's not in the dedicated gaming space as the context brought up it's not relevant.
- 3DS was active up to the end of 2019 (8 years) where the last significant game released for it was Persona Q2 in June this was an increase from DS' 7 years as it had Pokemon B/W2 in in 2012.
- Yeah and? You're acting as if the ports wouldn't be late anyway they'd even take longer to do under what you're suggesting, releasing when those games come out makes the task of porting them easier due to being able to use better tech and advancements meaning less compromises in order to get ports to work this is far better then rushing out a platform to try and catch such titles while undermining the success of a very successful platform. The latter is just better for the long term, for example that extra time could be the difference between putting out a device that could be PS4 level or in the middle of it and pro level performance.
