But that isn't what he said. Nor what they said.
He has been explicit that he is not discussing the device we are discussing. We are talking about the Drake powered Switch. He was not.
There absolutely is. He has said. This isn't Drake. This has no bearing on Drake. Any speculation we have about the Drake equipped Switch remains unchanged. As far as I can tell, all that can be inferred is that if the Drake Switch launches in 2023, it will not be positioned as a next gen refresh, but a successor, which makes sense given the power it has.there is absolutely no sensible way to reconcile this with any device coming in 2023
I know we all like silicon here but the product natedrake knew about is dead, end of story
Or he could just be getting mixed up like Mochizuki did with the SWOLED and what-would-be-known as Drake.there is absolutely no sensible way to reconcile this with any device coming in 2023
I know we all like silicon here but the product natedrake knew about is dead, end of story
There was no other planned dlss revision for late 2022/2023.Er, no. Again, Nate nor John are saying Drake, the chip we know exists physically which is explicitly tied to Nintendo, has been cancelled or shelved.
Just that some other planned revision was.
why would a pro model and successor have been developed to launch at maximum a year apart???There absolutely is. He has said. This isn't Drake. This has no bearing on Drake. Any speculation we have about the Drake equipped Switch remains unchanged. As far as I can tell, all that can be inferred is that if the Drake Switch launches in 2023, it will not be positioned as a next gen refresh, but a successor, which makes sense given the power it has.
But that isn't what DF said, either. There is a lack of clarity here.You’re in denial.
Nate is saying he thinks Drake will be the next gen Switch, or can be. He’s also agreeing with DF in saying no new Switch next year.
I know you just said you'll be sharing more soon so if this is stuff you'd rather share later I understand, but:
Have you heard whether "next-gen" will still be a hybrid console? I wouldn't expect Nintendo to abandon the Switch concept but usually "new generation" for them comes alongside a shift in form factor and gimmicks, so I worry.
Also you're notifications are probably blowing up right now, sorry.
We were discussing the Drake powered Switch, you chimed in with "the heavy news I was talking about is the revision is shelved". Nobody here was speculating in earnest about a revision that isn't Drake. In future, I would appreciate it if you clarified things up front. Clearly you've come across as obtuse to some people here, and it's caused some upset. I know that wasn't your intent, of course.
So what were the devkits that you mentioned way back when for? Drake or this mid-gen refresh?
Dare I say it:why would a pro model and successor have been developed to launch at maximum a year apart???
this is literally the exact same situation in a compressed time framepartner showcase moment, but in the hardware thread
That's overegging the pudding a bit, don't you think?this is literally the exact same situation in a compressed time frame
some murmurs of bad news come, I pick up on them, I get talked down, then the top dog comes in and says "yeah about that"
I left out step five of something actually happeningThat's overegging the pudding a bit, don't you think?
Exactly, which is why this is all so confusing.There was no other planned dlss revision for late 2022/2023.
So, where does Drake fit into all this? Does this mean there is no hardware release at all for 2023? Not just whatever this mid-gen hardware is, but Drake as well?I have a few details but nothing that's concrete enough to share/report, as early concepts will evolve and change before final details are set. Preliminary details show promise but, again, nothing is set in stone and they can/will change.
I was commenting on what John L had shared.
Mid-gen.
Occam's comb. It doesn't shave the hair, it parts it into like 10 different possible explanations.What's the opposite of Occam's Razor, cause that's how I'm feeling right now
Not sure, but Occam's Razor dictates that there shouldn't be any "Hidden Reivision" device with DLSS+RT Hardware Not running Drake. Considering all we've seen about was Drake (And drake in fact exists thanks to the Linux Kernel updates)What's the opposite of Occam's Razor, cause that's how I'm feeling right now
Don't worry, we're all caught up in the tornado of hype and disappointment here. We're all in this together.I left out step five of something actually happening
hopefully you're right and I get to be dumb and wrong
how come I only get to be dumb and wrong when I have hope for something...
So a revision using Drake, has been replaced by a next gen device using Drake?You’re in denial.
Nate is saying he thinks Drake will be the next gen Switch, or can be. He’s also agreeing with DF in saying no new Switch next year.
I've been asking myself this for over a decadehow come I only get to be dumb and wrong when I have hope for something...

This would make sense, but again this is not what is being said:So a revision using Drake, has been replaced by a next gen device using Drake?
Sounds like a delay and a shift in postioning/ marketing to me.
There's no way there has been more than one diss capable chip in development for Nintendo.
No one ever said Drake was the SoC for the revision.
Cancellation of the refresh doesn't mean anything happened with Drake. Don't conflate the two things for pedantic reasons.
This is where I've been for like 2 years now.fuck it
I don't want a new switch
I just want answers
What is this talking about then?Officially, Drake has not been delayed. The window has been late '22/H1 '23 internally for a long while. I've been getting updates on timing; but I will not share any such specifics unless they fall outside that window -- late '22/early 23.
2021 was never in the cards. The only reason is was ever mentioned for 2021 is due to a mix up & conflating the new hardware in the hands of developers with the new hardware entering production with an OLED screen.

I’m done with Nintendo.fuck it

Like I said, If it wasn't Drake then what was it?This would make sense, but again this is not what is being said:
hahaha holy shitWhat is this talking about then?
The switch will be fine. It’s going to sell above 10 million units the next fiscal year and be closer to 15 to 20M unit range. There is nothing to worry about. It is still selling pretty well despite its age, and it is still selling a ton of software.Anyone claiming "Nintendo will be ok with just Metroid and Pikmin next fall" is out of their mind. Switch is losing momentum fast, there's no guarantee they'd keep it up until end of next year. There has to be something else, something big. I'm not sure there will be any third party support left late next year to accompany those two games. Maybe not Drake, instead another form factor revision. Switch Lite OLED, anyone?
an etch a sketch is beginning to feel like a sound investmentI’m done with Nintendo.
From now on, I’m doing all my portable gaming on a Speak N Spell.
Not exactly.So, the latest revelations say...
- No new Switch in 2023
- Drake 2024, (maybe successor?)
I think it clashes a bit with the 'Switch family' shelf life, but things seem to be clearer at this point.
No more words. Just dreams. Dreams of Drake.i have no words.
