No hurt.

Parents don't care about specs and those people that want a dedicated mobile gaming device will not be satisfied with the App Store.

Games sell consoles, not specs. And the new Rumored switch seems to be pretty high on both lists from what we know. If people aren't willing to pay more than 300 for the switch, what makes us think people will pay 399 for a gaming tablet?

I don't think thats true. PS4 sold on GDDR5 for years.

no physical buttons = no buy

Of course it will harm the Switch, like mobile really harmed the handheld market
but without proper analog controls I doubt it will have a huge impact

it will have zero effect, dumb thread

 

there are plenty of powerful tablets out there technically capable of playing video games... but they aren't dedicated video game systems and don't have libraries of unique software so are fairly useless

dedicated gaming console is a big difference between a tablet that technically can play games but doesn't prioritize that

regardless, people generally buy Nintendo hardware for Nintendo games. also an Ipad design wise is not targeting the same positive things at all as the Switch. its not going to be a tablet built with control knobs for gaming :l

You can't play Nintendo games on an iPad, and Apple doesn't make games.

Probably not, as the Switch is built to play games, while this iPad Play thing... actually, I never even heard of this thing.

You're wrong. It sold well for years solely thanks to Knack.
