That thing should belong in a museum. :P Not far from that decade point.. Which is the life I expect out of HEDT chips with it's higher TDP/Core counts. (I.E. i7 990X/3960X)
3.4Ghz/Quad Core+Hyper Threading is pretty much regarded as low-end these days... But if you aren't having issues with it's performance profile, then well done, keep using it, will just make your next upgrade a more significant jump.
Those early Sandy Bridge/Ivy Bridge/Haswell have certainly stood the test of time in gaming.

If they release their games on PC their hardware were would decline severely because even a mid level PC would run their AAA titles better than a Switch, essentially rendering the points 1) and 2) irrelevant and the point 3 will follow suit once the hardware sales decline Nintendo would turn into a third party studio after a few years. Personally speaking I would love to see Nintendo bankrupting and going into a third part publisher for PCs, but it's not realistic. They are too big, have a monopoly of portable market and an even deeper monopoly of japanese market. Currently I can see them releasing a Switch 2 with no hardware upgrades and still selling 20 million+ in Japan as long they keep their first party exclusive |
Especially as PC handhelds are very capable devices these days.
Steam Deck is several multiples more powerful than the Switch for instance.
I don't wish to see Nintendo bankrupt, that wouldn't be a good thing for competition and the industry, but I would like for them to compete better on the hardware front and start using the latest and greatest technology when and where they can... And of course, port titles to the PC so we don't need to use emulators... That way they can profit from that too.
Conversely I would like to see Microsoft and Sony enter the portable market again and drive some competition.
