| Sephiran said: Nintendo did not forecast a big rise in profits this fiscal year compared to last, even though they will sell a ton of Switch 2 units at $499, that tells me that even though the Switch 2 uses a lot of old tech, they barely get much profits from Switch 2 at current price. Meaning, to release a handheld with only up to date tech, the cost would skyrocket while sales would collapse. It doesn't make sense for Switch 2 to try to match the Xbox ROG Ally, the sales potential goes down, while the cost goes up. |
It makes no sense either because a XBox ROG Ally isn't going to give you anywhere near 2x the performance. It's a moderate step up at best, the Switch 2 compares favorably enough especially dollar for dollar and watt for watt.
