I am sure whatever new chipset in the next hardware release for Nintendo it will have Nvidia tech if Nintendo continue to use them.  What I am saying is having the tech and the tech being able to be used effectively is something totally different based on how much Nintendo is willing to pay.  What level of performance do you believe the next hardware from Nintendo will be, especially if it remains as a mobile hardware like the Switch.  Nvidia isn't known for selling any of their hardware at a reduced price, its the reason why Sony and MS do not use them.  I doubt anything will change now.  Whatever chip Nintendo gets from Nvidia will be a very budget chipset and while it may have RT it will not be the focus of that chipset as RT still needs a lot of memory and very fast memory at that.  Nintendo is not going to price their next hardware in the same range as Sony and MS and if its still around 300 bones and still either make a profit or at most just break even only going to have so much performance.

At what price, that is the biggest question. 

not sure if you just don't know or decided to ignore it but, it's very likely that the next switch won't cost $300 and will, in fact, be more. let alone for the fact that it may need to due to inflation but, also because of these graphical prospects.

it also seems like you just simply have not watched the video at all? bc many of your comments are answered and given an alternative viewpoint from some very reliable sources that you may very well be wrong. like i said, it's your prerogative whether you want to believe them or not but to outright deny it bc of the below reason seems a little unfair. 

again, "bc nintendo is nintendo" is not a real argument. things change. also, nintendo was really only about low graphical performance under iwata in the post-Wii and DS era. leadership has changed.

Nobody and I mean nobody knows what the next price of the switch will be or even if it will be another iteration of the switch.  All we have is a bunch of rumors and speculations.  No one knows the price point Nintendo will go for but they have not even tried to go for the same price point as Sony and MS so why would they change that now. 

None of the technical features people seem to care about in the high end market has been a concern for Nintendo before so why would it be so now.  Until we see any real change in Nintendo stragety, why should anyone believe today is any different then the past.  Nintendo has not chased after graphical power for a while and nothing today make me believe they are looking to do so.  Yes, the next version of whatever hardware they come out with will be stronger than its previous version but nowhere have we seen Nintendo actually care about those particular buzz words because their games do not need them.  None of Nintendo games chases after realisms so RT while a nice addition I would still believe would not be the focus for their next hardware.
