A new Nintendo Switch 2 rumor has surfaced claiming that the next-generation hybrid console could actually arrive with more memory than a powerful rival like the Microsoft Xbox Series S. The same source has also offered an update in regard to the Switch 2’s potential DLSS support and ray-tracing capabilities.

Nintendo having hardware with some oomph? Bullshit. Their thing is making cheap consoles that appeal to anyone who isn't an edgy teenager. Dlss, Ray tracing, etc is still too new for them.

I mean the Xbox Series S will be a 4 year old non-high-end console by the time the Switch 2 will be released. I can definitely see them go in that direction.

Maybe it will have more RAM, but it will most likely have slower/cheaper RAM. LPDDR5 or LPDDR5X instead of GDDR6. Should also be more power efficient.

It just needs to be a Steam Deck w/nVidia hardware instead.

Performance wise they may get there, but that's not what makes the steam deck stand out.
