MODERATORS
They keep repeating the "news" regularly cause they believe they will eventually be right one day 😀
That being said, I think lots of things are pointing towards next version coming later this year or earlier next one. That's just speculation though, not even a rumour 😛
Backwards compatible with 4k upscaling or gtfo
I'd be happy with just backwards compatibility
Some Switch games could definitely take advantage of more power too
Just checked the link. It's bloomberg's report. How long have they been predicting next Switch for? I recall these reports since Covid days, maybe even before.
Yeah but this one some guy from Omdia said the specific stuff about the screen 🤷 The "report" is all over the place so I thought I'd just post it here for discussion 😬
Yeah, everyone is talking about it, so thanks for posting it here.
I was just sharing my general annoyance with these "reports". 😀
Hopefully there'll be a Direct next month and these reports will stop 😅 Although I think it was way worse before the Switch and all the NX "leaks" and "reports".
Oh yeah, that was an interesting time.
These will only stop when next console is announced. If there is a Direct and they don't announce it, they will just keep leaking these.
My switch broke and I'm holding out for a new one. I'd really like dates for this.
Last round of rumours were saying around Q4. So September-December. If you can’t hold for 7+ months buy a used one or refurbished.
It'll be flimsy, the controls will fail, the games will NEVER go down in price, the screen will be just too large to be comfortable as a touchscreen, the hardware will be outdated, the graphics will be meh, and the system software itself will be clunky amd slow.
It'll sell 200 million and I don't understand people.
Maybe, just maybe, you’re not the target audience. The games are usually fun. It’s portable without being “weird” to those that don’t really understand what the stream deck is. It appeals to both parents and kids. It may not do anything that can’t be done elsewhere, but it’s far more approachable than most alternatives.
All the whole not upgrading the resolution to be compatible with 4K TVs
I’m okay with 1080p, it’s the slowdowns in FPS that hurt me. If I had to pick one I’d pick consistent 60fps over 4K. Too many games dip under 30 on switch these days.
I'd be really surprised if it didn't at least have 4k upscaling and HDR.
Yeah, nvidia has done pretty reasonable at upscaling with DLSS. It's not native, and it doesn't look native, but it looks a lot better than FSR and a lot better than TV upscaling.
It's the CPU I'm still worried about. Apple Silicon does beautiful with ARM, but I think actual ARM designs are going to be the biggest limitation to the capability of a new switch. They're competing with really nice Ryzen-based chips on the other consoles.
You don’t have to understand people, my dear. Put your phone down, go outside, love the life you have.
