| SvennoJ said: Sure, ready for another year of wild speculation, rumors, secret sauce, lots of PR words, countless nitpicking, pixel/fps counting youtube preview videos, then after 2 more rounds of gpu releases, numerous threads on how to build a $500 Scorpio PC before it releases. Meanwhile the most likely to happen is a 0.18 tf handheld hybrid to run away with sales. It's going to be a fun year, where sadly VR will mostly continue to be ignored.

I don't think the Switch taking off is the most likely of outcomes. Especially if it launches for $249+. In Japan, I'm sure it'll be a hit, but outside of there, it is just going to be too much to ask for something that weak. Sure, it's great specs for a HH, but Nintendo is trying to use it to compete in both markets. And less than 200 Gflops just isn't going to impress many core gamers. And, again, if they are going to be asking $249+, I think that's going to severely limit their chances with casuals who are fine with playing games on their $50-$150 tablets. Now, if they actually launch at $149-$199, they have a real shot at a hit.
Also, VR is going to be horrible on a 6.2" 720p screen, so I doubt it'll take off anymore than VR on phones has.
