Why is everybody getting so aggressive? Chill, fellow Nintendo fans.

His proposal would simply be an option, it wouldn't take anything away from those who love the Switch as a portable. No split userbase, no separate software development, just higher resolution for those who want it.

At the same time Nintendo would avoid repeating a mistake they made with the Wii: Sleeping on a new TV standard. They kept telling themselves that HD was still far off, and suddenly averybody had moved on to the competitor's HD consoles. Same story right now: 4K is nothing exotic anymore, check out any electronics store, it's the standard already. Nobody buys a sub-4K TV these days.

Yea, during the Wii days, it was always. I want/waitin for Nintendo to release a Wii with PS3 specs and a classic controller.

It's like they think if they "adjust" the Nintendo console to match the playstation console in design/specs/ect we won't see what they really want to say.

They just want Nintendo 3rd party.

Nintendo's reputation in the console market is still recovering. They can't pull a stunt like that now. Can you imagine a gamer who hasn't purchased a Nintendo system in years and randomly just gives the Switch a chance and bought it just to hear another more powerful version just got revealed.

Aaargh, console warrior bullshit. What am I even doing here, how old is everybody? 12? 

I'm the biggest Nintendo fan you'll meet (had every Nintendo console from the NES, loved motion controlled Zelda, you name it) and still I'd prefer a non-portable, more powerful Switch. Not because Sony/MS - I couldn't care less, cause I don't care for their games. Nintendo all the way for me. But I prefer home consoles! And TV's are good and big these days, so why can't I wish for up-to-date image quality?

To get a 4K image, since it's 4x the resolution of 1080p, you'd need a dual Tegra X2 processor, as I believe Tegra X2 is double the power of the X1, so that would give you 4x the processing power. I mean these are obviously ball park estimates but you get the idea. Memory bandwidth doubles to 50GB/sec as well.

It's actually probably fairly doable if Nintendo wanted to do it say next year, probably for less than $399.99 even.

That said I'm not sure if Nintendo is interested in that. Then again it could fulfill that mandate of a Supplemental Compute Device that they patented.

They don't "need" to, but it'd certainly make me happy if i could use the Switch as a home console without having to put on a victorian suit to feel more at home with the technology

In seriousness though, i'd be fine with just a cheaper home-only version. The Switch's hardware is excellent for a portable device, but for people like me who will just keep it docked it's pretty terrible value. I can tolerate poor hardware if it gives me access to great games, but paying a premium price for that hardware makes me a salty salmon.

I don't think it' possible given the current limitations. But a Switch TV with a Tegra X3 would probably do all games 1080p60

And then there are 3 console manufacturers and their consoles cant do real 4K and only 30 fps. What a terrible world we live in.

Tegra X3 will be far more powerful than that. A X3 is probably beyond a PS4 (2 TFLOPS+). 

Tegra X1 - 500 GFLOPS (FP32)

Tegra X2 - 1 TFLOP (FP32)

Tegra X3 - 2TFLOP+

Such a chip would run all Switch games in 1080p/60 with ease and many/most in 4K or checkerboard 4K no problem. 

Tegra X1 is actually up to 500 GFLOPS with majority sticking to 393 GFLOPS @ 10W due to chip process limitation.

Tegra X2 is 750 GLOPS FP32 @15W

Tegra X3 is presumed 1TF FP32 @20W and this is the likely/realistic configuration for a device that is small form factor.

Edit: X3 is very capable on paper, I know. But the standard should be 1080p60. CPU is anywhere 3.5-4.0x the Switch, with GPU about 2.5x.
