The SNES was pretty but I think the Genesis was still better in performance? Or that's what everyone was screaming at that time. I don't think it matters though. The Switch puts a lot more focus on their first party library which runs smoothly for the most part. Its also pretty so its not like you need to go full on extreme in graphics. The issue is that you have trouble porting to it but I never buy a Nintendo console for the third party games. --- I am that Naruto crap. <cite>the_real_Naruto posted [p:979691843] in Switch 2 s...

UnsteadyOwl 04/02/24 1:56:42 PM #34:	Nintendo doesn't give their consoles more powerful hardware because they don't need to. The Switch has sold almost 140 million units and unlike Sony and MS who sell their hardware at a loss (at least at first) Nintendo never did that with Switch so they didn't have to lose money on hardware sales to get that install base. Would the Switch have sold even better if it had more powerful hardware for the same price? Maybe so but even if it would have those extra sales probably wouldn't have been enough to offset the additional manufacturing costs they would have incurred. --- "It is possible to commit no mistakes and still lose.
