So you expressing your feeling about me in this thread and accusing and insulting me without any real examples or facts!?

Yes, I look on things from positive side, but I never wrote unrealistic positive staffs, I wrote realisticall and positive staffs. In this particular matter, I wrote that Switch is very modern tech and architecture and that big difference compared to past Nintendo consoles like Wii and Wii U, and that will affect that porting PS4/XB1 games will be easier compared to Wii U for instance.

Whoa there!

Unless calling you beyond optimistic is, for some reason, an insult, I've never insulted you. So calm down.

And no, you're not writing realistic or even true stuff, mostly because we don't know the exact hardware of the Switch and, as others have already pointed out, easy or easier are not absolute terms, they're relative.

You called me "another level of optimistic", and you wrote "unfortunately for him, reality will come into play" and "let it go", all that imply that like I wrote some crazy things that don't have anything with reality. So yes, I consider that for insult.

Again, tell me what exactly that I wrote in this matter that is not realistic? About true staffs, we cant  be 100% sure yet about Switch hardware, but offcourse we have good Idea of Switch hardware with infos we curently have (Pascal based Tegra and Tegra comes with ARM CPU) and we talk with something similar on mind.  Easier is relative term but easier in any case is better than same or harder, I saying that will be easier to port PS4/XB1 games for Switch that was for Wii U, it want be harder, it want be same, it will be easier and I wrote reasons why it will be easier, but here you go again:

"Switch is Nvidia+ARM, today ARM architecture is most used CPU architecture on market and almost every developer is familiar with ARM, Nvidia is most used GPU architecture on PC market and most of PS4/XB1 multiplatform games are also availibe for PC, with Switch hardware we talking about tech from 2015/2016. Now compare that with Wii U, old IBM PPC CPU architecture from early 2000" and custom ATI Radeon GPU that is if I recall based on Radeon 46xx series (2008. tech) graphic cards. Also Wii U didn't had support for most modern engines, for instance didn't had even support for U4 and it got Unity support very late, while Switch has support for almost evre modern engine.

Thats make quite difference compared to Wii U, and of course there will be noticeable difference with Switch compared to Wii U regardless XB1/PS4 ports."
