This doesn't really say anything about the hardware capabilities of the device. I think we all knew Switch would be shader model 5 compliant and whatever the PS4/XB1 support.

I wait and see if the Switch really is capable of running current gen games and not just games like remasters or sports titles, especially when they'll have to optimise for the portable part of the device.

just like you can play gta v on a 1050 and on a 1080, scalable engines and now very easy thanks to the architecture.

I get what you're trying to say, but there are boundaries and variables to scalability. It doesn't help that you chose a remaster for this matter.

 

If the Switch is slightly less powerful than an Xbox One, then a 900p game could run easily at 720p on the Switch. However, nothing seems to suggest that it will be close to the Xbox One in power.

 

I just hope that the power differential isn't as big as somethiing like the Vita and the PS3/360. Because then, even after major graphical cutbacks, the game would have trouble running at a stable framerate. I'm sure Nintendo wouldn't want a Borderlands, Vita situation on their hands.
