| Nogamez said: Thats a seperate issue, and kind of mute atm anyway because games like skyrim and fifa have broke a million, and all 3rd party seem really happy. But games that would actually fit the Switch like GTAV (even 360 version) Witcher 3 and the sublime Hellblade, just aren't coming. The problem for me right now is the lacklustre OS, terrible outdated online from not being able to message friends to rubbish free games to no netflix. I mean its been 2 years since BotW, why no sequel using Botw assets and engine? Ubisoft can bang out a new massive AC every year or two. Im a long term Nintendo fan but im beginning to falter. The dock was a wasted opportunity it should at least have upped the power of the console or made it run quicker, even plugging a laptop in does that and i agree they feel out of sync now. They should just make a console on par with with Xbox and PS then scale back their own games to suit their needs if they don't want to make 4k games etc but at-least it would be possible to port to. |
I guess what I was trying to say was even with the direct it may not even cater to everyone's tastes so we are at the mercy hoping their games do as not much else is coming from 3rd parties.
As for out of sync I did not mean just matching power to competition. I meant more like Nintendo seem to be in a position atm where they have to rush hardware out early because the previous system dies so they need something new to get sales, so we only get 80% of the vision they truly wanted for that system. I am sure if WiiU held it's ground (say 40 million sales) till 2019, the Switch would have had the next gen tegra and launched in Dec 2020 and a dock that boosts the console ability via their patented supplementary units. If the switch come out in 2020 they could have used say the Xavier GPU even though it come out in 2018, redesign it on a smaller die (7nm @ 1.4tflops is plenty for portable mode), by then battery tech would have also improved. Then throw in whatever has come out after Xavier into the dock, or just chuck in two Xaviers in the dock.
All this would have also lead to better 3rd party support, and would cater to those who don't like every Nintendo franchise. Because for me even with some of their announcements it feels dry as I don't play those games, hence why I have a PS4, but would love to have the portability of the Switch.
hat they need to do now is make sure they can keep the Switch selling, so these directs will be very important and hopefully enough interesting games to keep new people interested. If they can stretch the Switch long enough, they may be able to do with Switch 2 what they wanted with Switch, but at a grander scale than what I wrote above.
