    I can’t wait to see Nintendo’s new underpowered console. I’m sure they won’t completely miss the mark again.

    1080p?! We’re living in the future, guys!

      Considering all of the PC handhelds being released, 1080p is the best you can really do on a handheld screen with modernish games. Steam Deck is the most successful and it is only 800p. Having a 1440 or 2160 screen would decimate battery with little to no benefit.

        That’s my point. Nintendo only about to have a 1080p screen does not seem like as big of a selling point as it would have been say, 7 years ago.

      Screen size plays a role

      Even if you can put an 8k screen in your 15cm profile. There isn’t any reason to do it

      If that’s how the console turns out then I expect them to make up that difference in the cost. I’ll be happy with a modest console as long as it has full backwards compatible and it’s not priced at the steam deck
