New 3ds upgrade was nothing compared to a 4k bump. There were only like two games made to utilize it's features, if I recall. Comparing that to this, with Nintendo supposedly telling developers to prepare to use 4k bumps for future games, and these are very different situations. I suspect the Switch Pro will sell a lot more than New 3ds, which will then give those same people buyers fatigue in a couple years with Switch 2. I care about Nintendo's success and I'm sick of the huge success/huge failure cycle they've gotten into the last 4 generations. I want them to have sustained success, and that means not sabatoging next gen success. |
You do realize that a 4k bump is exactly what Microsoft and Sony did this gen right? Are you expecting people to not buy the next gen systems starting this Fall because they are all fatigued at having already bought a 4k system in the past few years?
This argument just makes no sense. An upgraded Switch is still a Switch. It's not gonna play different games. It's not a next gen Switch. If it uses DLSS for 4k that means it'll be a little bit higher spec Switch, which is something Nintendo normally does, that increases the resolution. It won't even be remotely comparable to a next gen Switch that comes out like 3 years later. Unless you think XSeries and PS5 are gonna fail because people already bought XBX and PS4 Pro, you can't be making this argument. And you seem to be vastly overestimating what a 4k bump means. 4k will be from DLSS, if the rumors about 4k are even true. The upgrade will probably be on par to New 3ds, not some vastly larger upgrade. DLSS provides 4k without needing a vastly more powerful system. Nintendo has never experienced buyer fatigue for the followin gen simply from releasing upgraded version of its current system, and PS5 and XSeries aren't gonna fail because the previous gen got mid-gen 4k upgrades, so why do you think this rationale applies only to the Switch?
