I wonder if they consider the Switch a current-generation console.
- badRNG 7y agoI'd sure hope so if iOS and Android are on the list.
- mcphage 7y agoI'm pretty sure that most high-end iOS and Android devices are significantly more powerful than the switch—I mean, they generally cost hundreds of dollars more.
- sk0g 7y agoHigh end smartphones now cost around the same as the new Xbox and PlayStation combined would, or about as much as a solid mid range gaming PC...
- BiteCode_dev 7y agoYes but they don't have specialized hardware and have the highest power consumption constraints.
- hombre_fatal 7y agoToo bad. I'm always curious about gains in cross-platform target productivity. The dream being that you build a high fidelity game and just need to drag a slider down to create a build that runs at 30fps+ on the, for example, Switch. Of course what we normally see is a lot of work to port down games. A good example being all the work that went into getting Witcher 3 to run on the Switch: https://developer.nvidia.com/gtc/2020/video/s22697 https://developer.nvidia.com/gtc/2020/video/s22697
