Just thinking out loud really. I was bummed the only bump for the Switch is the OLED and it's really not worth buying the new model. I haven't bit on a Deck but I've been looking at the specs, price point and wondering how this will effect whatever NIntendo do next. The Switch was basically detaching the gamepad from the Wii U and providing a dock for power boost. Obviously the current Switch obviously has the upper hand on battery, weight while the Deck has the upper hand in raw power.
Base deck is about £50 dearer than Switch launch I think.
If Nintendo launch at around the same price point do they have to get closer to these specs or can they be happy just delivering something that sits at the power of the original Xbox One and the Deck being more representative of the original PS4? Do people actually care if they are getting a new Mario/Zelda etc.?
I'll be honest I find some Switch games really needing more power, not necessarily for the art or game but certainly for some of that post processing that makes some games a lot uglier than they should be. If they retail something that's still a clear way behind the Deck, surely they have to make it cheaper? Whci is great for us. Or will they just price at the point they want and let the games validate the expense/power shortfall?
