I can definitely tell the difference between 1080p and 4K. It’s nice, just not, you know, buy-an-entirely-new-TV-right-now nice.
Nintendo is cleaning up with a hybrid and Sony wants to tie you down to a television?
That’s fair, and I see what you’re getting at, but I also see Sony’s perspective. It couldn’t beat Nintendo at handhelds; it probably doesn’t think it can beat Nintendo at a hybrid. Nintendo spent nearly 30 years preparing for the eventuality of Switch.
Sony is gunning for the only space it knows how to win, and weirdly, it’s still a risky play. If Nintendo releases a Switch successor that can consistently do 1080p/60fps or even 900p/60fps in handheld mode with minimal drops, Sony could be in danger. Handheld mode is important to a lot of people. For many, Switch is already “good enough.”
