I don't know that I understand why everyone is debating whether or not the Switch is as powerful as current consoles or talking about it like that's a terrible thing if it isn't. It's a handheld/tablet. And so far, it is so incredibly graphically superior to any handheld or tablet on the market it's ridiculous. Can anyone here imagine playing even the original Xbox 360 Skyrim on an iPad? Or Mario Kart 8? Nothing has come even close. We should be looking at this thing as a 3DS successor, whether Nintendo intended it or not. And as a 3DS successor it is already looking to be at least 100x as powerful, and compared to other tablets, it's looking like it's at least twice as powerful as even those. If it is in the ballpark of an Xbox One, that would be absolutely amazing. But regardless, let's celebrate the amazing tech for what it actually is, and it is the most powerful mobile gaming device of it's class (and most likely price). |
Just a piece of advice, that was what PSP and PSVita were, handhelds to play home consoles on the go. So yes, if PSVita have a sucessor it would be able to play a game on the level of PS3/X360 skyrim on it. In fact Uncharted on PSVita is very much comparable to PS3 version considering the differences between hardwares and usage.

"Nintendo never delivers the things they show in reveal trailers"!?
Nintendo is actually well know for that they almost never doing some sort of downgrade compared to initial game reveal, actually they far more often improving graphic of game that in its shown in initial trailer, than they actually doing some sort of downgrade.
About comparing Zelda and Skyrim, for initial Zelda reveal (E3 2014), we saw just more like tech demo/gameplay, while with Skyrim we saw game running directly on console.
They didn't announce details, games specs...beacuse this was just inital Switch reveal, they will talk about all that when they will have full reavile of Switch.
Nobody never really believed that NX will have double of PS4 power even PS4 power alone, 90% people expected what Eurogamer article and Emily said, close to but below XB1 power.

I guess you are blissfully ignoring Zelda reveal on Wii.

Nintendo convinced them to port Skyrim to Android / IOS. Because the NX will likely be powered by one of those systems. And even if you cannot make money on NX, you will make money on the mobile app stores. The NX version is just a by-product.
The devkits clearly show that the NX will never have the power to compete with PS4 and X1. It will compete with tablets and smartphones instead which is a very clever move because Nintendo can also sell Zelda on Appstores with hundreds of millions of potential customers. At least this is my prediction.

Switch isnt Android or iOS based.
Offcourse that point of Switch isnt to compete on power with PS4/XB1, point of Switch is a hybrid concept to compete with power. DS/3DS and Wii/WiiU also didnt compete with power. You will have Nintendo mobile games like Pokemon Go and Super Mario Run on iOS and Android, maybe those game will work on Switch but offcourse that Switch Nintendo games will not work on iOS and Android, lol.
