I can’t be the only one thinking finally

The Switch was reasonably powered at launch but now feels positively antiquated compared to the Steam Deck and the like, there is no way I would buy any third party games on it right now when I’ve got a PS5 sitting right next to it.

All I need is a good spec bump to get games running at 1440p / 60fps in docked mode to make me happy!

I’d be completely shocked about any performance above 1080p honestly.

I would be okay with 1080p60 with med-high graphic detail on modern games. 1440p comes with a pretty big performance hit.

1080p/30 is the max they’ll do, and is sufficient for 95% of users.

1080p games upscale really well on even my few year old cheaper TCL Roku TV. If we could get 1080p 60 FPS more steadily, that would be good enough, and I’d imagine most of their audience wouldn’t care about the extra pixels.

1440p on a handheld screen seems excessive to me.

Oh yea, you could do 1080p or even 800p like a Steam Deck in handheld mode and I think that that would be fine, on a TV it should be > 1080p tho
