Meanwhile Nintendo releasing the same chip from 2016 for the 8th year in a row on an underpowered handheld.
Who cares if the Switch doesn't have the hardware to compete with Sony and Xbox? It never was trying to compete with Sony or Xbox. It's been a serviceable device with a huge library of awesome games. Graphics aren't gameplay.

I don't understand people. I hate using the Switch. My phone seems faster.
If you want performance, buy a PC. If you want Nintendo games, buy a Switch.
Ehh, Steam Deck covers it all.
nah that's ds lite
They're using a cut down 700 series Nvidia gpu. Your phone doesn't feel faster, it is faster.
New Nvidia chips are very power efficient. The switch could be a powerhouse for wattage if they used a new chip but then they couldn't pocket as much profit. And people keep buying the switch anyways it seems. No matter that Zelda TOTK runs like a laggy potato.
The vast majority of Nintendo's 1st party Switch titles run just fine.
Even just the menu's or the store on switch is leggy. It's pathetic.
