We don't know what other techs/possibilities Nintendo packed in Switch (just look new Switch patent thread), with Switch you also have Switch Dock and Switch Grip with Joy Cons, we have basically real home console and real handheld in one that can be played in local multiplayer out of box.

All that at price point of $249 is great price, and will have very good sales, not bad sales. Like I wrote, New 3DS XL is still selling solid at price point of $199, this is just $50 more and offers much more and it's much more capable in every case.

 

I am pretty sure evre PS4 port could run on Switch at 720p resolution, 540p in portable mode and 720p in docked mode. If actual Switch is popular and have good sales, I am pretty sure we will more AAA ports on Switch. PS4 will be same time on market like PS4 Pro, Pro isn't successor to base PS4, it's just a stronger version on first place for 4k users.

Things aren't scalable like that, it's not even the same architecture. PS4 is X86 and the Switch is ARM. The coding itself would need to be rewritten completely for a game to work on the Switch.

Also there are plenty of games that are 1080p on PS4, 720p on Xbox 1... how well do you think this same game would run on the switch?

Have a look at how The Last Guardian or FFXV are running on both the PS4 vanilla and Pro. And as you said, it's not a successor, just a more powerful console under the same x86 architecture. Imagine how any of those games would play on the Switch? Exactly... they wouldn't. Nor should they, because the Switch is way too underpowered to handle such games. Even worse for open world games where you are usually CPU bottlenecked.

But hey... prove me wrong Nintendo. I'll love it if you do :)

It's not scalable like that, but they can port same PS4 game to run on Switche at 720p for instance, offcourse they will not work some PS4 from ground in order to work on Switch.

Over 90% of PS4 games are 1080p, so I really don't see problem for those games, other games could have some other lower graphical settings outside resolution.

Of Course that FFXV could run on Switch also if SQ decide to port game to Switch. Switch is underpowered to handle FFXV at 1080p and exactly same graphical setting, it capable to handle it at 720p and maybe some lower graphical settings.

Evre multiplatform game will be port of XB1/PS4 games of course.
