Nintendo was guided by the choice of chip, its energy intensity / heat dissipation / cost
here the choice of chip is really very difficult. for example tegra x2, the successor of x1 (the one in the switch), has slightly better performance, +/- the same energy efficiency, but I think it’s worth more. Nintenda and so with all his might save on what only possible. because to be a switch is much more expensive than ps4 and a box, no one would buy it.
ps but this is just my sofa analytics: sveta:
