    If it’s portable, that’s a game changer.

      True. I don’t think that would be possible though, considering the power of the current handhelds like steam deck and its competitors. I don’t think it’ll be even as powerful as a steam deck tbh

        Steam deck and similar devices are 500 dollars and up, unless Nintendo is ready to sell devices that expensive, there’s no way Switch 2 is going to be on the same range of processing power.

          Right - if it’s portable and has the graphics of a ps5, it’ll cost thousands, not hundreds lol. There’s just no way, unless the “visuals comparable” is to be taken literally and just means they are capable of being compared

          Nintendo has a stranglehold on their game distribution and keep their software prices high. They would 100% be in a position for Switch 2 to be a loss leader.

            How much loss though, $500+ devices can’t even do PS4 pro graphics and at a terrible (90min ish) battery life, and they are big/heavy. Plus Nintendo historically never sold their devices at a loss, even when they had total market dominance.

        True, it’s probably microfusion reactors.
