DLSS I don't see as a necessary requirement. - Ray tracing though? Definitely.
Needs to be packed with the latest modern rendering features to ensure ports.

The opposite of this.

Ray tracing is just a cool special effect. Definitely not necessary. Pretty sure third party games can just turn that off for porting. It's not something essential to gameplay, just an effect. DLSS on the other hand would allow games from consoles to actually run on Nintendo's handheld, because developers could dial the resolution way down while porting and then just use DLSS to raise the resolution back up near what it is on the consoles but without nearly as much power draw.

DLSS is much much more important than ray tracing and is the only one of those two features that are important for ports. Not saying next gen Nintendo won't have ray tracing, but it would just be a nice extra, while DLSS can give next gen Nintendo not only much better graphics but also a lot more ports from consoles.

Yeah for sure, DLSS especially for a product like the Switch is waaaaaaaaay more important than ray tracing.
