    I wonder about the processor. The one in the switch was basically obsolete when shipped. I just hope they start with something fast this time if we’re gonna be stuck with it for 8 years.

      Yeah, don’t get your hopes up. Heat dissipation and battery life aren’t going to be your friends on this one.

      Obsolete tech is cheap. They can undercut the prices of other systems despite being a much smaller company. Also, by targeting simplified graphics, they can save money on development costs.

      Nintendo’s strategy has been to make great games that run on modest hardware. It worked for the GameBoy line, the DS line, the Wii, and the Switch.
