that’s supposed to be at least as powerful a PS5/XBS.

I think anyone who truly believes that is huffing paint lol

Didn't it tuen out that it was literally just the same architecture? Doesn't really mean shit

Honestly the biggest barrier is nintendo's policy of making profit on hardware. Microsoft loses $100-$200 per console and the XSX still costs $500. Is nintendo really ready to charge $600 or even $700 for a console that matches what was released 3 years ago? 4 probably by launch?

The biggest barrier is that Nvidia has shown no capability to make a CPU that isn't unconditional dogshit for gaming, and the CPU is the Switch's problem.

The only company that's made an ARM CPU remotely interesting is Apple.
