   You are all not wrong. Just wanted to point out that we went within 16 years from this (1985) to this (2001).

     @konstantin @obrhoff good summary. The switch isn’t for “gamers” or innovative new developments. It’s for casuals. If you want an innovative, folding phone, you’re not buying an iPhone.

     @obrhoff I think the new switch does have a few new tricks up its sleeves (literally). Nintendo did to consoles what the iPhone did to phones - it defined a form factor that’s fit for purpose (the fact that others are trying to match it is evidence of that).

     By supporting the platform for 7+ years, Nintendo is showing that we don’t need yearly iterative releases in order to get value out of it - I’ve never worried about specs or framerates. There is no “pro” or “pro max” bs, it just works.

     @obrhoff Nonrhetorical question, what type of innovation do you want to see exactly?
