Perhaps we'll have more than one non-windows handheld console. It was stupid enough of Sony and Microsoft to leave Nintendo completely alone in that market.
It would be redundant of Sony to make a bespoke handheld when a lot of their recent games are already handheld with no special effort on their part. Anything they do is gonna be a worse deal than this:
As someone who skipped the Switch entirely, I mostly just want physical backwards compatibility. I plan on buying the handful of Switch games I'm interested in and playing them on the Switch 2. And if it also improves those games' performance, then even better. I'll gladly pick it up if it checks off those boxes.

same purchase also works on 4k tv at the highest quality.
no, I have a deck, laptop with 3060 and desktop with 6700 XT connected to the tv. helldiving for any occasion.
Steam deck is basically the endgame of portables. Valve should improve distribution. though. I wonder however how much can AMD improve it's offerings for a steam deck 2 in say... 3 years.
The switch 2 might be the most powerful portable for a while.

Ampere will be, what? 5 years old by the time Switch 2 comes out?.. And 7/8 nm as expected. Also, I’m assuming it’s T239 and not T329.
This sounds very Nintendo.

This is pretty much in line with what I predicted back in 2022.
Nintendo Switch 2 Hardware Speculation
Aight guys, Let's start your predictions on what you think will be in the next iteration of Nintendo Switch. State them and then provide a reason why you think such silicon can be in a mobile unit. Hopefully you aren't too crazy with your specs like the next-gen console threads were (HINT...

And here
VGC reports Switch 2 was demoed with "The Matrix Awakens Unreal Engine 5 tech demo" feauring DLSS, advanced raytracing and "visuals comparable to Sony
Total bullshit, unless heavily downgraded disabling many things and at a shitty framerate.

I doubt it will be a T329, there's no indication that model exists even and 2022 models are all T2xx. I also doubt the amount of CUDA cores, there's no APU with that configuration.
It seems like this is a customised Orin NX 16GB with less RAM, probably downclocked, and with a different CPU (A78C instead of A78AE)

Leaker Nash Weedle has confirmation from a developer about a Switch 2 dev kit update
The developer told Weedle that the update now allows them to "go one step further". It is speculated that this is referencing an update to DLSS upscaling for the Switch 2 dev kit. This is just after NateTheHate heard that Nintendo was asking developers for footage/images of their "Switch 2" games.https://twitter.com/NWeedle/status/1770926164023885950
I really wish it wasn't a hybrid but with that being said it's the only hybrid that matters to me.

Yeah, honestly I rarely used my Switch at all but I'd rather it be a powerful console but we shall see.
