Not that I am very inclined to buy any handheld, so I don't care much, but considering what raytracing "costs" I much rather have them focus solely on traditional rendering and only add DLSS/FSR/xess/anything Snapdragon does, whichever they choose, as the only fancy new tech.60fps, ray tracing switch 2 lets go.
What does RAM size have to do with battery usage? The Steam Deck has 16GB and I don't see a new Switch having more power.The problem I see without knowing anything is that battery tech hasn’t advanced much to accommodate more than 6-8 gigs of ram. Could probably get away with 8 gigs for most games but textures are still going to be a low point for any multi-plat ports.

The additional RAM let's the Deck use higher quality textures. This makes games look better, with requiring a big increase in processing with uses more power.
No it isn't. Memory is a low power component. Screen and GPU is a big drain.Memory is a big drain on the battery
Knowing Nintendo it won’t be just a switch with more powerful specs. Unless it is. Who knows not I.60fps, ray tracing switch 2 lets go.
Memory is a big drain on the battery as it constantly needs to be “ on “ and it needs the same amount of power regardless the device.
Or a Zelda pack-in.20M is about what they will sell in 2022. The only way they would be able to match that in 2023 is with a major price cut. Hmmm…
I don't think Nintendo's going to chase the ray tracing rabbit.60fps, ray tracing switch 2 lets go.
If they are only just now starting negotiations, is it safe to assume no switch 2 this holiday season?
Same March release like switch 1?

My understanding is you need about 7-8 months of production lead up depending on how much units you want for initial launch...but I could be wrong.If they just begun negociations, doesn't it mean it's for 2024? Production needs a lot of lead time.
That TotK "leak" was never verified and even if it is true I don't see why having a special edition switch prevents new completely new hardware from releasingAnyone with half a brain has been saying that no new console was going to be released in 2023. The Mario Kart DLC pretty much confirmed that, and now the leaked TotK special edition Switch has all but confirmed it.
2023 is not happening if they're just beginning negotiations now. The earliest one might be able to expect would be March 2024 but realistically October/November 2024 is where I'd expect to see it.But if they are negotiating in 2022/2023 then 2023 is most likely the year they want to release.
Ray tracing is such a buzzword. It’s the most ‘eh’ piece of technology ever and so far, it’s never worth it if I am able to choose between it and performance.60fps, ray tracing switch 2 lets go.
Lucky if we get tray racing with Nintendo, let alone ray tracing.Ray tracing is such a buzzword. It’s the most ‘eh’ piece of technology ever and so far, it’s never worth it if I am able to choose between it and performance.
