I think Nintendo hopped off one generation too early, but they usually 
release the console for their games and then everyone else has to deal 
with the hardware.
And Nintendos games usually follow a comic graphics style (with a few 
exceptions like Metroid) so their games more or less are not that 
demanding (again the latest Zeldas here being the exception)
And yes they nailed it with their dropping out perfectly! They can be 
low cost enough and on the other hand they do not have to deal with a 
hardware race at all and they are on proven ground so no bad surprises 
are to be expected with a new hardware they design!



I would never buy a 4090 for instance wasted money, you can show off for 
2 years then the successor comes out and your card performance now is 
mid range, given that I have to earn my money and cannot burn it as I 
please i only upgrade when really needed, and that has been quite a 
while ago for my aging PC!
