Is it vastly more modern? Isn't S2 based on a cut-down 3050 mobile which came out in 2021 & reportedly is build on a long-in-the tooth Samsung 8nm process (which is actually 10nm)? Series S GPU is built on 7nm I believe... And again, Nintendo will be able to drive costs down due to higher volume relative to Series S. At 70-80 bucks a game & their own online service offering I'm pretty sure that Nintendo will make more profit in software per console than MS does with Series S via digital/GP. |
The main to take from that point is not to assume Series S has large profit margins, thats what Nintendo has managed for the last 8 years and I don't think they want to throw it away to unless they feel they need to (3DS' fiasco) |
An even better example is the Switch Lite. Nintendo managed to come in at a price point of 2/3s of the OG Switch, whilst RETAINING a screen & battery.
How low could they have offered a Home version for? Especially if they offered it controller free.
