that’s supposed to be at least as powerful a PS5/XBS.

I think anyone who truly believes that is huffing paint lol

[–] Ketchup@reddthat.com 12 points 2 years ago (2 children)

I want to believe. Will huffing paint help?

[–] WarmSoda@lemm.ee 5 points 2 years ago

I always go by the wisdom of Airplane:
I picked the wrong day to stop huffing paint.

Can’t hurt! And if it does, just huff some more!

[–] YIj54yALOJxEsY20eU@lemm.ee 1 points 2 years ago

I've either huffed too much paint or not enough, and since I can't huff less theres only one option left.

Didn't it tuen out that it was literally just the same architecture? Doesn't really mean shit

[–] Lord_Wunderfrog@lemmy.fmhy.net 9 points 2 years ago

Exactly, same architecture means nothing if it only draws a fraction of the power, eg from a battery and not mains. Not only that, but size and cooling constraints mean with our current tech, it's impossible to have a small handheld as powerful as current gen consoles

Honestly the biggest barrier is nintendo's policy of making profit on hardware. Microsoft loses $100-$200 per console and the XSX still costs $500. Is nintendo really ready to charge $600 or even $700 for a console that matches what was released 3 years ago? 4 probably by launch?

@Alto @Fubarberry @spiderkle @BolexForSoup on the same lever as a PS5??? Dang. You had curiosity but now you have my attention

[–] Alto@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago

It's not going to be, it's (from what I've seen) simply the same architecture. It'll probably be what's essentially a very cut down and underpowered (as in literally uses less power) version of it. Still a massive step up from the switch, which was already well outdated when it launched, but it's not going to touch PS5 performance
