Chrizum said: I didn't mean to insult you. I never called you dumb, I said that criticizing Switch's lack of power (you mentioned 900p 30fps) made you look silly because PS4 barely does it any better. Like I said, I think it's a silly argument. I don't think many PS4 fans would call the PS4 a powerhouse of a console, it never was... That's why it's always been affordable, unlike the PS3 which was much more powerful at the time. I guess what I'm trying to say is, if you value power and graphics so much, what the hell are you doing with a PS4? |
Ok fine you did not mean to insult me, let us forget that part. Sorry for getting a bit carried away.
And I think I made it clear previously or maybe I forgot, I don't know but the 900p thing ONLY bothers me cause I am sure that if Nintendo had made a home dedicated system that this would not have been an issue. A home dedicated system which is all I'm trying to defend here. And it's not just that, it's things like aliasing which again could have been dealt with if Nintendo had made a dedicated home system. Those issues are not as important on portable mode and I can understand that but a dedicated home system by Nintendo would have dealt with those issues I'm sure.
As for the PS4, I don't know what you mean by powerhouse or not a powerhouse but if you take all the systems EVER available, from the very primitive Magnavox Odyssey back in the early 70's all the way to the most powerful gaming ultra high end PC's of today, the PS4 Pro is only behind the Xbox one X and those ultra high end PC's. So the 4.2 Tflops of raw power it yields are not exactly something you could call weak. They can of course be improved upon and that's what I hope for the future PS5 but the truth is that more and more games have options to be played at 60fps and even 4K for some and up-scaled 4K for others which I dare anyone to see the difference with their naked eyes only.
So maybe it's a matter of opinion or perspective, I don't know but I don't think one can call the Pro a weak system. And to answer your question I chose the Pro as a compromise as it yields a very respectable level of power which you can see in games like Horizon or Doom and the soon to be released remake Shadow of the Colossus seems to be a great example of that. A compromise between the practicability of a console which suits me and a certain level of power which as I just explained is fairly respectable in the Pro.
A dedicated home system by Nintendo would have suited me too which since Nintendo chose not to make, is as someone said, my loss.
