I mean that also shows over 60% have 8GB or less GPUs, lol, like that's not the flex you think it is. That means I wouldn't be counting on games that require more than 8GB of VRAM any time soon. There's more people that have 4GB GPUs than 16GB + 24GB combined. 

Or y'know Valve is selling millions of a product they basically gave less marketing than the Wii U got, has no retail presence, had people waiting on waitlists for months when for like a period of year after launch. I've said this will be a growing segment of the market and I stand by that. In 3-5 years, it wouldn't surprise me if these types of devices are moving 4-10 million units per year or more and then you have the Switch 2 as well. 

Lots of publishers are going to start taking that product sector a lot more seriously, because Sony and MS have stagnating in growing their market share, even though MS is spending through billions of dollars and wasting all this market money, even Sony isn't growing. 

If it sold near wiiu numbers in 2 years then I would say their something there but 3-4 million tells me there is no appetite for big thirdparty games on  a handheld.

I think you are wrong and will be proven so. Do you think gaming laptops just popped up one day and started selling millions per year right away? No they didn't, initially it was a slow crawl, the Steam Deck product category is an infant that's just taking its first steps and I think you're wrong frankly. This product category will grow. There was a time when playing like even PS2 quality games on a laptop was something that felt impossible, today laptops that run the same games as any other hardware config is something no one even bats an eye lash at. Steam Deck 2 will outsell the Steam Deck 1 and so on and so on and more and more hardware vendors will start making their own versions. 

Probably 8 GB VRAM will be the baseline for the next years due to that big percentage.

But PC gamers can switch to better hardware instantly when they need more GPU power for their games.
Nintendo gamers will be stuck on the Switch 2 hardware until at least 2030 without an upgrade path..

So should more and more games release with minimum specs of 10 - 12 GB VRAM, most PC gamers can just upgrade their GPU.

2050 is a popular laptop choice, again doesn't surprise me some here have a stick up their ass against it because it flies in the face of what they think hardware has to be today.  

Most GPUs on the Steam survey are on the lower end, then you have consoles like the Series S which a developer has to consider. The fact is developers are not going to make games and lock out all this kind of hardware. For fuck's sake almost 2x as many people have 4GB GPUs as 12-16GB rigs (which are generally the "high end" cards). 

Yeah I forgot Digital Foundry has a sports section and swimsuit section of their website, lol, the fact is "tech dorks" talk a lot on message boards but aren't a market force. Y'all yapping away but you sure ain't showing up in numbers to drive software sales of games like Senua's Saga which is bombing harder than HiFi Rush, we've seen games like that which are trying to be graphics showcases flop or underperform over and over again.

Stop lying. It's actually not. I have already provided the evidence for all of this.

The RTX 2050 is at 0.24% of steam users.
NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Laptop GPU is at 3.37%

That means the RTX 3060 Laptop GPU is 14x more common than the RTX 2050.

Again. Here is the evidence: https://store.steampowered.com/hwsurvey/videocard/

I suggest you look at the evidence and start thinking about the information that is presented in that evidence before you post your next piece of false information/lie.

I have already provided the evidence that determined that this is a lie.

Why are you still lying and arguing against provided evidence?

You need to pull your head out.

Again, Digital Foundry primarily deals with the analytical side of video games and the underpinning technology.

Their main bread and butter is frame rates, frame pacing and more... And that includes with Nintendo's platforms which often do not provide great results.

If a game is competently designed, it doesn't matter if a game needs more VRAM than is available, it spills over into System Ram.
This actually happens more often than people realize.

Unfortunately, when games are not competently designed we start to see issues with things like texture loads.

PC Gamers tend to upgrade when there is a need... And console gamers don't understand that as they tend to be locked in permanently to the hardware they are provided for the entire life of that particular device.

I mean shit... I still have a spare PC that I built in 2011, 13 years ago... That will be faster and has more Ram than the unreleased Switch 2.0.

This generation is already baked in, was pretty much the moment Microsoft announced XBox Series S.

There isn't going to be a large jump forward in anything until Playstation 6 in 2028 and even then there is going to be a long, long, looooooooooooooooong cross gen period, it's not like most developers even are going to jump in and start making PS6 only games in 2028.

There's no one in this business right that's sitting there saying "you know what I need right now? My gaming budgets to double again over what they already are today", let alone triple, quadruple again. There's no appetite in this business for that whatsoever. If there even was looking at the sales figures of things like Senua's Saga, Alan Wake 2, Immortals Aveum and even things like the recent Final Fantasy games are a sobering wake up call that going upwards in presentation/visual spend does not bring more sales with it. 

Switch 2 will be great for all types of games, 1st and yes 3rd party games too, so will the growing segment of portable consoles, and probably even Switch 2 Pro which is probably going to happen this generation unless Nintendo can manufacture a COVID boost (unlikely).
