Trust me, they are ABSOLUTELY petty enough. They ruined a man’s life in part because he had the last name of “Bowser”. (Yes, I know the case is more complex, but there were bigger fish to fry and Gary was only tech support.)
The problem is, and why we’ll never see this, is because Nintendo is highly risk-averse after the Wii U, and unlike tacking a second monitor on (which is relatively cheap), building a custom architecture is expensive and raises major problems, like we saw with Sony grabbing IBM’s CELL architecture. It was amazingly powerful, but difficult to code for and rather expensive to use, which made adoption difficult for devs.
Though on the flip side, Nintendo would have much stronger first-party titles, which frankly sell most Switches anyway. I do still believe it’s unlikely due to cost though.

- tourmalinetaco 3y agoPS3 games are running a lot better than they had been, that’s true. However the CPU needed is, last I checked, still rather beefy. PS4 actually has some emulators as of last year. Originally it was just Spine, but now we have fpPS4, a more advanced open source Free Pascal-based emulator.
