Once people see Mario Odyssey, BotW, LM3 etc (then the big 2022 games) at 4k on the Switch DLSS will the console you’re talking about have enough horsepower to then show a generational leap on screen (after a year or two of cross gen) would be my question. My opinion would be no especially as we’re talking about a hybrid console which has to operate inside a very narrow power draw and thermal envelope.By any reasonable metric, Dane is already going to be a "true next generation Nintendo system" by itself. I don't doubt that first party releases for the existing Switch will continue for some time after it releases, but I just can't see that sustaining at anywhere near 100% for more than a year or two unless adoption stalls pretty badly. The system will spend some time being functionally a revision, like what's happened with the new PlayStation and Xbox, but it will almost certainly start pulling away as time goes on just like those two systems are only just beginning to do.
The way I see things, the system can't remain the premium model forever. Eventually it will become the baseline.
That’s not even getting into the subject of would Nintendo want to redo all the assets they currently possess for current HD development trying to live up to some “next gen” marketing and the hundreds of millions of dollars that would cost them to do. For me most customers are happy with current Switch games visually and will be even more happy with them at higher resolutions in a DLSS Switch.
