They may go down the Steamdeck route and use an AMD processor. Or they will use a custom mobile chipset that's in the ballpark of the Snapdragon gen 2.

I read that the creator of undertale was forced to add trophies to the ps4 release but did not want trophies in his game… so instead he just took the piss.

Still, you need more performance to have new games, otherwise you will have rehashes of the same games and people will bore out.

I think my initial comment is the same view Nintendo will have. As long as there is (just) enough power to do what they want with it then it's adequate. It'll likely pull in a decent profit for them without it needing to be a powerhouse.

Most, probably, still there are hardware passionates, and those are a moltitude. Me do like hardware as if it would be a work of art. It's like for games, they are two different types of human's expression.

Likewise, but Nintendo is a business and their primary interest is making money. Most people hand their money over for great games, often with no clue about the technology involved.

Some people do like hardware too. I always liked technology, for example. Hopefully it will have the same good support of the Nintendo Switch.

It's irrelevant as long as the games are good.

A Tegra 2 with 16 GB of RAM would be a waste; also, RAM is pricey. But they need new technology to sell the new hardware, even if cheap technology.

Nintendo don’t tend to focus on power, as long as it has enough power to port current gen games over and it stays compact and cheap to produce they will be happy. I can see them using a overclocked Tegra 2 with 128gb internal memory and 8/16gb of ram.

I've had a series S before, so I knew what I was going for.
Honestly, if you have the money, best bet is to get PS5+Xbox series S.
I mostly play ARPGs like Diablo/PoE and Monster Hunter games, so for these 2 genres there are no exclusives and performance for some games is better on series X.

I was in the same boat and went with Ps5. You can still use your xbox to play xbox exclusive, game pass games, etc through cloud gaming.

I like trophies that motivate you to engage with parts of the game you might otherwise have skipped over. Like say in fighting games when there's a trophy for getting certain character endings, or completing survival mode. Normally I might not do those things so that's nice.
But crap like in the OP? Why? Sometimes it feels like there's zero thought put into them, like they got the unpaid intern in the office to make up a list because they couldn't be bothered. It's so weird to put zero effort into a part of your game like that.

I've played a few that do this. The crew 2 did it right as you had to work for that trophy in photo mode as you had to take pictures of certain things around the US.

If your friends are on xbox, get the xbox. Then you can do like I did and pick up a ps4 pro for like $200 and buy all the exclusives second hand on fb marketplace or equivalent.
I have a collection of like 11 PS exclusives and they play really nice.
All games are still on PS4 and the PS4 pro is like the Xbox One X. You dont need the ps5 at $700 to play the ps exclusives

You know you want a ps5, then just go for it. I own both consoles and both of them are amazing. So it can only comes down to what games you want to play, and since you want to play those ps5 exclusives, then go for the ps5. The Xb one can still last you another year at least before they fully stop making new games for it and if you buy the xb series in the future, any previous xb games can be play on it

Well, I like my current Nintendo Switch, I suppose that I would like anything better than just an overclocked Tegra 2. If it will be like just a Wii (an overclocked GameCube) I would be quite deluded, like I was with the Wii (I find every other Nintendo console cool). Steam Deck looks bulky, somewhat unattractive.
