If Nintendo wanted VR to be a big part of the Switch appeal they should have announced it at launch. I think it would have been good even at 720p but the Switch is performing even lower than I expected and it needed to be pushed at launch. A weak approach with only a few supported VR titles would kill it.

Before the announcement I was thinking;

The Switch might only support 720p in portable mode but the tablet resolution would be slightly above like a 900p resolution.

The Switch would have removed the little arm chips but replaced them with higher amounts of cache memory so a full frame buffer could be stored to give the Switch a big performance increase but its performance level doesn't seem to indicate that.

The tablet supports all required functions internally, gyroscope etc but no indications of that.

I feel this Switch model is dead after the launch but hope to see a better model sometime in the future.
