This really looks quite beautiful

Them screnshots looks beautiful looking forward to seeing the trailer to get a better look at what we can expect on the Switch.

Would certaintly be interesting if true.

As of now that just reads like a kids wish list to Santa.

It depends what he means by "more powerful than ps4" if he's just referring to CPU then that's a possibility. But GPU? Nah, and it seems likely the thing only has 4gb of ram too.

I don't see Red Dead 2 launching on the Switch, FFXV and Res are a possibility.

The CPU is better, docked or not. But that is not the the point of that rumor and that rumor is definitely false. Everything actually credible points to NS being less than Xbox One.

Well surely that depends on how much the System is likely underclocked when portable.

No, no it doesn't. The CPU is definitely better than the Jaguar. That doesn't mean that NS will run it at a capacity that is definitely better than Jaguar, but the CPU itself is better technology.

Wow... way to pick silly technicalities. Of course I was talking about practical performance, why would you discuss anything other then that.



Looks very good.



Proud to be the first cool Nintendo fan ever

Number ONE Zelda fan in the Universe

DKCTF didn't move consoles

Prediction: No Zelda HD for Wii U, quietly moved to the succesor

Predictions for Nintendo NX and Mobile

Because there is a difference comparing components vs the console.

PS4 and XboxOne have the same amount of RAM (8GB) and use the same amount on games (5GB) but PS4s RAM is a better component. Kind of an opposite comparison and yes I agree most people would be referring to how it is being implemented in NS. But I have a breakdown thread and I look at it at component level and overall.

Sorry to come across nitpicky and silly. It is interesting to highlight that Nintendo could match/be better depending on battery/heat dissipation obsticals.

Why do you think the Switch is more powerful in cpu performance? There are 8 jaguars in a ps4 or xbone and x86 processors tend to punch a bit above arm chips? Wasn't it something like 38,000 mips for ps4 and more for xbone and can't see the Switch matching that, 4 arm A57s are just under 37,000 mips at 2ghz and can't see them going above 2ghz but more likely less. Also cisc optimisation in the code will definitely deliver more power for the Jaguars. I'm thinking more like 80% as powerful at 2ghz. Still a fantastic amount of cpu performance for the little tablet but don't think its fair to state over.

Unless you believe there is more cpu's than the original development kit. Remember its shared memory and of low memory bandwidth 25.6GB/s there has to be space in the SOC for cache and frame buffer memory. Also factor in that new claimed battery life of 5-8hrs, performance surely has taken some sort of hit to achieve that. 



Milo? Is that you?
