Kiyoshi Togen, a senior Japanese game industry leader, published his latest commentary today, March 3, talking about the Switch 2, which has been long-awaited by gamers. Many information that has been circulated shows that Nintendo did not use the most advanced chips and postponed it to avoid insufficient distribution and scalping problems caused by insufficient production capacity.
·The following remarks are from the views of Dogen Qingshi:
·The current relatively reliable information is that the limited-time Switch 2 will be released in March 2025.
·The second most concerned thing is the performance setting of Switch2.
·Multiple sources claim that the (basic) performance of Switch 2 is still not as good as Xbox Series S
·It is rumored that Switch2 is equipped with T239 chipset, which results in poor performance.
·However, more news said that Nintendo will use "super-resolution technology" to make up for the disadvantages of the T239 chip.
·It is rumored that the T239 chip will be manufactured using 8nm process technology, which is not as advanced as the 7nm process technology of Sony PS5.
·It is speculated that Nintendo adopts this strategy to avoid insufficient distribution and scalping problems caused by insufficient chip production capacity.
