It's more that it actually gets developed for iPhone. It maybe can give Mobile Games partially a different direction. At least Apple continues to be committed to that which I don't think is a bad thing. Having alternatives is always better.
Sony console exclusive. It's not coming to Microsoft or Nintendo consoles.
tfw 2023, $1000 phone still can't catch up 2013 tech.
Are you a part time troll? You go into multiple topics and make questionable comments that are trollish
it will take alot to change the entire market for ios games away from gacha
The Apple A17 Pro Bionic probably already outperforms Drake in the CPU department, especially in single core performance, if the Geekbench 6 benchmarks are to be believed (here and here). (I know that Orin NX is not 100% representative, but Orin NX is the closest approximation to the Cortex-A78C Drake probably uses.)
Did we ever get a reason why 505 did the publishing of the pc version? Cause its technically a sony ip right?
Uh, is it? High performance, ARM based mobile silicon with AI upscaling and AI assisted rendering? It's pretty comparable. Mind you my understanding is that Switch 2 will just have so much more room to breathe- and 4 times the high performance CPU cores- dedicated cooling, exclusives and ongoing support targeting ONLY those specs for years. But yes, I think it's worth comparing. Though given their RT demo Vs a "comparable to Xbox Series X Matrix demo", it's clear Nintendo is more concerned with effective RT, and Apple just wants to say "uh, it's there if you want".
"3- "Controls": iPhone controls better than Joy-con are nothing new."
if genshin tell us anything about this. it will just.... still throttles
Man, I got massacred a couple of years ago when I said I'd like the Switch 2 to have, at least, 2 TFLOPs in DOCK mode. I was told it was impossible. Now maybe it will have 2 TFLOPs in portable mode. There's no way to telling how technology will evolve or what to expect too soon.
Man, good controls made for cell phones have existed for at least 10 years. An example is the backbone. This was at a time when games were focused on being played with touch. With the arrival of games designed to be played by controller, this market only increases.
Big note on this. Orin/A78AE is likely less representative than a standard A78
That's why I said partially. Doing Apple Arcade or having in general a big phone maker being committed to bring "big" games to their mobile platforms are good things.
Oh, you mean plug-in controllers sold separately? Yeah I can see that being fine to use.Man, good controls made for cell phones have existed for at least 10 years. An example is the backbone.

No Mario, no Zelda, no real high quality first party exclusives. As long as their ecosystem is infested with Gacha and shovelware, they will never be a serious competitor. They tired to alleviate that with Apple Arcade. And Apple Arcade TANKED.
And yet Switch have been selling like hotcakes.
Other ways around with Mac using the iPhone's backbone, but I agree it would be more surprising if the games announced for Mac at WWDC didn't come over to iPhone or iPad, its almost all the same stack to a game engine.
I meant more that it is actually available on phone. It might not seem like a huge thing, but it's were people are. At least that's true for Apple.
Depends on how much Apple paid them tbh
this remind me you some folks that touts "I don't need Switch, just a Phone with razer kishi is already fitted my need"Man, good controls made for cell phones have existed for at least 10 years.

Yes, I agree with that, as long as you have Mario, Zelda and Pokemon, nothing will threaten Nintendo's existence.
Not to mention AAA games will probably be killer on battery life.....a battery which I need to stay alive all day to do other stuff
Well, when the best game on the iPhone was Candy Crush it really was a joke. But now we're talking about RE 4 Remake, one of the biggest releases of the year, running on a smartphone, this is unprecedented.
And you're saying that as if taking away those exclusive would threaten Nintendo's existence. It's not that simple either.
If you want to know more and why the PC market shaped to be like what it is now, this Anandtech article from more than a decade ago is an excellent read:
Intel Settles With NVIDIA: More Money, Fewer Problems, No x86
www.anandtech.com
TLDR: Nvidia and Intel fought regarding Nvidja rights to make Intel motherboards chipsets and about Nvidia having the capability to create an x86 processor (Nvidia does hold some x86 patents from their acquisitions). Ultimately, it was settled that Nvidia couldn't create an x86 processor nor x86 emulator but, in exchange, Nvidia got a welthy sum of money (Quite a lot of money for the size Nvidia was back then).
It was one of the reasons Nvidia kept investing heavily into Arm ecosystem and why Nvidia can't create an Nvidia x86 CPU + GPU SoC/APU.
Another problem is that PC games are made with x86 in mind and nothing else. And Windows on Arm is still in a terrible state, with the Windows x86 application emulator being very meh.
However, Nvidia is rumored to be working on a Arm SoC for a Microsoft Surface product scheduled for 2025. So we might get to see a heavier push and investment into Windows on Arm and, with Nvidia expertise and GPU IP, perhaps PC Games finally being playable on Arm devices. Nvidia did a demo back then that might be a taste of what a ISA agnostic PC Gaming future might shape to be:
Y'all we gotta chill up in here, these should be our takeaways from the iPhone news...that it's actually gonna be good for Switch 2!
And it'll impact nothing lmao.
You'll have to start strapping battery packs to your belt like they were Pokéballs
