I'm playing in my bed and used a ruler and I'm about 15 inches from my Switch. If you have vision problem, sure. But 8 inches is basically " in your face".

Maybe the tons of sub native games will look better. MK8 is kind of an exception, really.
I mean, you're already talking about the difference between going from 50+ inch TVs to a 6.2 inch screen. People seem pretty darn OK with that now!
Yall don't have old eyes yet. Gotta get it in close for reading.
It's as simple as a pillow behind my head and a pillow under my arms in front of my face. Anywhere from 8-12 inches. 10 is probably the norm.
When he spoke of mass shortages he said half of what was delivered.
He said NX will run their own smartphone games, industry leading chips and he keeps bringing up the switch pro for 2 years. PS5 struggling with price and shortages

I don't know why me not believing is such a big issue.
Just slap that shit on the outside of the packaging and call it a day.
If it's a similar form factor, that's great. I hate the current thick bezel, and 7" would take the screen nearly to the edge, which would be nice. Also means I might be able to see the damn text in Three Houses a bit better. :P
I'm guessing the 4K isn't going to be native and will have to have some kind of CB/AI upscale implementation. Anyway, whatever the case, hope this all means that the current array of games that don't consistently hit their target framerates will be nice and smooth on the new kit.

Gonna be a nightmare to obtain probably, right? Or are the (likely) Switch chips not as held up?
You care to elaborate on what you are talking about or is it really as simple as this:
tensor cores is not possible in the dock. you can't have tensor cores and not bump up everything. they need to make a new chip to even have tensor cores, which means a new cpu and a new ampere gpu
They said under a million in the report. Hopefully that part is false.
I'd assume that you'll want to jump on pre-order links as fast as you can possibly get to it. Scalpers are going to be licking their chops for sure.
Just in case anyone isn't in the loop, this guy is pretty reliable. Id put him up there with Jason Schreier, though I have not gone back to fact check his reporting. That said, the industry is fluid and plans do change which is something to always keep in mind.

MK8 is the most popular game on the system, and if you look at the top 10 best selling games on the system most of them are native resolution in handheld.
Sure but what I mean is there's significantly less incentive to upgrade for the portable experience. The enhancements vs OG Switch are going to overwhelmingly on the TV side.
Handheld could use DLSS to go from 360p to 720p which would a) increase battery b) give room to improve framerates c) extra effects, better shadows etc - its literally pointless using it for resolution when the difference would be imperceptible but that doesn't mean it stays the same
The thing you want is literally never going to happen. That would be a pointless product that there isn't enough demand for.
If you want a Switch that is dock-only, you simply leave it in the dock.
720p OLED for portable mode would be actually pretty decent! To my eyes, 720p content looks just fine. As for the 4K docked part, that's an interesting tidbit. I'm sure with using NVIDIA chips that there might be newly implemented DLSS-like tech. Nintendo first party studios heavily use on adaptive resolutions that can go all over the place. So DLSS tech would be fantastic to use here.
1 million a month starting in June gives 5 million ready to ship in November. Gonna be tough to find one for Christmas.
Yeah, I basically agree with the post I quoted at the end lf the day. DLSS seems like the best scaling solution over CBR, and less expensive from a rendering standpoint, so it would make sense. Maybe the dock could have a DLSS enabling chip?
Perfectly ok with 720p in handheld in order to maintain good battery life. Hope we get some FPS boosts mostly. I'd buy a few games again like Links Awakening if it keeps a steady 60fps.
I'm not sure that's really true when there are so many games out there that are struggling to hit 720p in handheld mode. Yeah, the gains are comparatively more marginal compared to what docked will offer, but it sure as hell won't be none.
Yup. $399, sold alongside the unchanged current Switch as a more expensive premium model, just like how the DSi/DSi XL existed to boost average selling price over the DS lite that they continued to be sold alongside.
One of your examples of him being wrong is that he said... PS5 has shortages?
... Alright.
nah. it would introduce added latency that would defeat the purpose of DLSS. it'll be on the SoC itself
I dream a world in which there are real measure to prevent "bot purchases". In the west I don't remember having prolonged stock issues for the Switch. Don't wake me up pls
But that's not going to happen because they're not going to have the portable mode have better performance or effects in comparison to docked. It also doesn't make sense for that to happen when games will still be developed with the OG Switch(and its existing 720p screen) in mind.
Imran Khan: It will be primarily for FPS boosts and resolutions, a ''Pro'' version rather than a ''Super''
What's up with tech announcements being done through news outlets? Is this the new way consoles are going to be unveiled? Why wouldn't they save this for a direct?
Day one purchase.
Day one purchase.
Yeah I figured.
That's probably the main feature that would heighten my interest in this thing.
Now we gotta wait for the reveal.
Also, seems weird to chide Mochizuki for reporting that the Switch used industry-leading chips when it wound up... using industry-leading chips, since Nvidia is about the only company out there giving a crap about portable gaming hardware at that scale.
