Ganoncrotch said: Not a bad video but there is one strange thing which isn't being addressed at all about the visuals being offered from the switch compared to the Wii-u The point is that not only was the Wii-U rendering it's software on the TV but in a lot of games it was also streaming a second video feed to the Wii-U tablet with it's 854x480 resolution, I know that doesn't require a huge amount of power on it's own, but it was something that the Wii-U's GPU was handling at the exact same time it was doing the main TV displays output video. Being compacted back to always displaying on a single screen with the Switch (either TV or portable screen) it most certainly have saved some Power which the Wii-U was using on the extra screen. |
Compile that with the fact that it seems Nintendo's entire online stuff will be on ones phone it seems, that also doesn't bog down the system at all.
So even if the Switch was exactly the same in power as Wii U, it should be able to push it further. But it is slightly more powerful on top of the OS savings and not having to stream to gamepad.
