Nintendo Reportedly Plans to Release Next-Gen Console During Second Half of 2024::Nintendo will release its next-gen console during the second half of 2024, according to a new report.
I doubt it’ll keep up performance wise with x box and playstation, but it can probably do pretty well just updating to newer mobile hardware vs the 7 or 8 year old chips they use right now.
No way it will every reach a current gen console because of the thermal restrictions of how small it is and the battery not being able to power a chip that is capable of modern games with 4/HDR/etc. But I’m sure if they use a modern efficient SoC it can push out some pretty good graphics.
Steam Deck is pretty similar size and weight. I don’t see why Nintendo gets a pass on glorified mobile phone specs.
Steam deck is way bulkier and heavier at 1.6 lbs vs .9 lbs and 1.9 inches thick vs .55 inches thick
The 1.475 pounds is only 0.575 pounds heavier. 60% of the weight of a can of soda. It’s only 2 inches on the controller grips. It’s only 0.8 inches in the middle. Both very reasonable sacrifices to make for significantly better performance.
1080p resolution but better performance would be good enough for me.
