Someone should have told him there is no war, PlayStation won. Having said that, I'll always admire Nintendo marching to the beat of their own drum, even if I have my criticisms.

Nintendo has always led with innovation over raw power. And every decade we talk about the next Nintendo console that will be equivalent to what's out or coming out.
At least this time Shigeru says don't put them in the category.
Like when the WiiU was introduced with the bird flying in the Japanese garden and all the LoD on the cherry blossoms. That blew those conversations way beyond what it was

Translation: "Nintendo will continue to make under-powered consoles and sell them at a premium, so they can make more profits. AND YOU WILL LIKE IT!"

Okay, that's cool and all, but if Switch 2 can run Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity at an acceptable framerate, that would be nice.

Yeah, as other said, don’t expect too much at $399/449

if Switch 2 indeed has PS4 level of performance, then its enough for them. today we already see that graphics reach diminishing return output. we already can see what a mere PS4 level of performance could do with some of best looking title it. so the specs should well good enough and they can keep focused on gameplay experience of aspect afterwards.

As much as I hate that response, it makes sense for Nintendo and allows them to exist as a successful 3rd brand. In most things in life these days, there's only room for two - Coke and Pepsi. Walmart and Target. If you want to be a 3rd option, you better do something different. If Nintendo tried to compete on a hardware level, they'd likely cease to exist. Just be Nintendo.

This is only done to maximise profits, not for any reason that benefits the consumer.

Thats way to powerfullGetting the impression the Switch 2 will end up with weaker specs than many supposed leaks and rumours have said it will have.
(I think they suggested PS4 level undocked and around PS4 Pro to Series S level docked?)

I just want it to keep up with a cellular phone. Not even a 2024 ROG gamer phone or anything. Like a basic 2020 one or something.

"We love sub 25fps stutter fest games with pixels as big as your head and constant, fluctuating sub native resolution!"
If only they ate their words and put on some draconian performance targets for all publishers. THEN I'd support them.

I don't own a switch or a console for that matter, I'm on PC, but I can't deny how right he is on the spec wars: it doesn't matter anymore these days. Dev cost are insane, dev times are just stupidly long, and gains are alright at best.
Nintendo kinda blew the competition away. The switch has way more interesting titles and probably the best console recently. If the backwards compatibility is alright, im dabbling with the idea to maybe get a switch 2.

Nintendo is making the right move to stay out of the arms race with Sony and Microsoft. They don't feed into the toxic console war conversations, they know it's petty bullshit. Instead they are carving out their own path, and they are being very successful at it while Sony and Microsoft have painted themselves into a corner with high end graphics, ballooning budgets and 7+ year development time. Xbox is pretty much dead and Playstation has turned into a premium brand that takes every chance it can get to fleece the customer base out of every penny to uphold that facade. Nintendo is doing smart business by focusing on things that really matter, which is fun and accessible gameplay, and they are being heavily rewarded for it. Just look at the numbers on their first party IP. Ther are cleaning house with the competition.

They understand it very well. They choose to do things a certain way, and they end up making a ton of money.

This actually makes me happy bc he's letting down the delusional PC/Nintendo fans that are into making up conspiracy theories about Nintendo consoles and their hidden magical theoretical power.

It will run age of calamity at 60 fps but its sequel will be 30fps as a Switch 2 exclusive.

It'll be slightly weaker than the Steam Deck docked. But the battery life will be really good. That's my guess.Getting the impression the Switch 2 will end up with weaker specs than many supposed leaks and rumours have said it will have.

Yes. To a degree,Shigeru Myamoto is right,but the excerpt doesn't make sense because if a minimum performance upgrade isn't necessary ,why not stick with the same tech?
I get architectural efficiency and power isn't everything, especially if it isn't leverage,but there should be a balance between performance and price.

They do understand technology, which is why they have chosen to opt out from the performance race. And with the Switch it has paid off immensely.

It's almost like you don't need to be at the cutting edge of technology to make consoles and games people will enjoy. Crazy.
Ok but SNES, N64 and even GameCube were powerhouses of their time ..... I miss that.....
