Above all, performance?

While competitors have one Race for the best performance Nintendo seems to be focusing more on gameplay innovation when releasing their device. According to analyst Hideki Yasuda, a member of Toyo Securities (security firm for financial companies), the Switch 2 will be less powerful than a PS4 Pro, which would mean it two generations behind its competitorsSony and Microsoft. And as icing on the cake, Yasuda plans to launch the product at a price of 499 dollarswhich equates to just over $450.

This is not the first time that Nintendo has appeared unambitious about the performance of its devices, and this can already be seen from the Switch's components. The hybrid console actually works with a processor Tegra X1a chip similar to the one in some tablets and not very powerful. These component deficiencies didn't stop the Japanese company from astounding its audience, as the success of the Wii proved.

Compare the incomparable

And then the possibility remains that the… Nintendo's next device will actually let you play in 1080p. Dataminers came across a 2023 patent filed by the company stating DLSS (Deep Learning Super Scaling). This technology allows you to view improved graphics and resolutions 4K without requiring much strength. An advance that could allow Nintendo to once again obtain the porting of global licenses, such as the modern opuses of the Call of Duty or Assassin's Creed licenses.

In any case, Nintendo is Nintendo, a full-fledged manufacturer that stands out from the competition. This also applies to comparisons between PC and consoles, which essentially have in common that they are platforms for fun.
