Sorry but this post is unclear.Features of the hardware that was relayed to me as a "Switch revision" are similar to those of the leaked Drake specs.
4K, DLSS and such were all reported well before the NVN2 leak. The leak only served to back that information as credible.
As said, I'll discuss the matter of hardware for 2023 in the coming weeks -- with additional info acquired over a span of many months.
[Speculation Citation] Could the Drake SoC have been the base for the revision and plans changed once the SoC evolved beyond original vision & became better suited for a next-gen successor? Maybe.
How can a device be shelved when we know there’s something related to NVN2 and partners were told to prepare their software for H2 2022 / H1 2023. What did Nintendo tell them? Oh we’re removing those kits from you and basically you can just throw your games away too.
This makes no sense. If partners were told this early about a Switch Pro and were told the product was shelved sometime in 2022 then Nintendo should also have told them immediately what the new plan is especially considering the leaked NVN2 stuff matches perfectly with the kits that were going around and we know for a fact tests were being run on Drake a few weeks ago.
This makes no sense if the revision was scrapped to just turn into the succ, because that’s marketing intricacies partners should not need to know about at this stage.
What I want to say is that IF the Pro was scrapped in favor of the successor, then where did the games developed for Pro go and how come do partners know that SKU was canceled but don’t know that they can simply salvage millions worth of money by putting this software on the successor which seemingly uses the SAME chip or at least a very, very similar one with DLSS and the likes?
Makes no sense that they’d know about one half but not the other.
