Switch isn't launching alongide PS4 and Xbone though, it is launching alongside Scorpio and Pro. Wii U was part of the 2012-2013 hardware cycle, Switch is part of the 2016-2017 hardware cycle, and both look to have about the same power gap compared to the other systems in their cycle. However, that doesn't mean the visual gap will be the same; Pro and Scorpio look to be wasting most of their extra power on resolution boosts that deliver diminishing returns, so if Switch doesn't make the same mistake and focusses on delivering optimum detail/shaders/effects/etc at 720p or even 900p, then the perceptual gap could indeed shrink even if the actual power gap remains consistent. If Switch shoots for 1080p though, much of its power will be wasted just in achieving that. |
Thats true, but again XB1/PS4 are still this gen consoles that are staying on market they are not last gen console that will be replaced with Pro/Scorpio, and Switch power of course will be compare to them also, with all current gen consoles on market.
IMO Nintendo will target 1080p, 3rd party with true next gens will most likly target 720p (900p or even 1080p for less demanding games like Just Dance, Legos, Indies..) on Switch.
