Why Nintendo fans has such a hard time to accept Nintendo Switch is a tablet? A dedicated tablet optimized for gaming, but the form factor is pretty much a tablet in and out. By accident i`m sure vivster meant that the only thing, hardware wise, that differentiate the NS from other tablers are the accessories. The difference between Nintendo Switch and the crop of android tablets that eventually are going to use the same chip is the software, in both OS and game-wise. |
kind of semantics, is a PSP or Vita a tablet simply because its a screen with a few buttons?
its funny how until now that the main Nintendo console is leaning towards a mix of handheld and home gaming that everyone wants to paint it has "omg its just a tablet"
In terms of functionality, dedicated gaming, and the options (i.e. coming with a dock to connect it to a TV for main use) its nothing like a standard tablet. Again, many people will buy this device SIMPLY to play on their TV at home. Not sure if that really falls into pure 'tablet' territory as it practically is a TV streaming game device in some respect
and Nintendo will handle the OS on their own (although obviously probably taking from other architectures, Linux, whatever).
I also seriously doubt there will be any sort of mobile game section on the device, Nintendo is not looking at this as a tablet like some of you claim.
