FTC v. Microsoft 一案中公开了不少内部邮件,这次 Tom Warren 报导的跟下一代的 Nintendo Switch 有关。
Bobby Kotick 等动视的管理阶级曾在去年 12 月用任天堂会面。而根据内部邮件所示,动视的平台策略与伙伴关系副总裁(Vice President, Platform Strategy & Partnerships. Activision Blizzard)Chris Schnakenberg 总结了“Switch NG”的内容在一个名为 NG Switch Draft.pdf 的档案中。
虽然这个档案被大幅涂黑了,但仍可看到 Switch NG 性能接近第八世代的描述,并认为根据他们之前在 PS4 与 Xbox One 上推出的游戏来看,他们可以为 Switch NG 推出游戏,如果他们可以提早拿到开发机来验证的话会很有帮助。
Given the closer alignment to Gen8 platforms in terms of performance and our previous offerings on PS4 / Xbox One, it is reasonable to assume we could make something compelling for the NG Switch as well. It would be helpful to secure early access to development hardware prototypes and prove that out nice and early.
