    until everyone realizes how great it was in hindsight.

    I don’t think anyone does or ever did think that the Tegra chip was “great”. Lots of things to commend Nintendo on for the Switch, I don’t think that choice was one of them. It was an old chip when they first got it, and they was like 8 years ago.

    It’s also one of the reasons so many people pirate, because the Switch has dogshit performance and all of their games look so much better on other hardware.

    But yes, I agree, it should be no surprise that they’re not competing with the Steam Deck. And they don’t need to.

      I don’t think their choice of chips was what they meant. The Wii’s motion controls, and the Switch’s portable/docked modes and removable controllers are.

        None of those have anything to do with performance…

          Nor did the comment you replied to previously. It was about how Nintendo innovates in other ways.
