Having the ability to play current AAA games anywhere you are is extreamly pleasing. Hopefully, this will push Sony and Microsoft to get mobile versions of the PS4 and XBO to the market in once 7nm fabrication makes that kind of power possible in a mobile. I would love to see Switch signal a change in the times, and a move away from Android and iOS. Apple and Google have been the worst market leaders I have seen in my 25 years following mobile tech. The complete lack of innovation and variety over the last decade and even more so in the last 5 years since they really locked down the market, are about as sad of an event as I have ever seen in technology. Hopefully a potion of the industry can swing back in favor of companies that turn profits into new exciting eye opening tech. |
There are some huge difrences with Switch compared to Vita+PS4, obvious one is Switch is one device while you need to buy Vita and PS4, not all PS4 games could be played remotely on Vita, requires good Internet connection so you couldn't play anywhere, Vita does not offer local multiplayer on one screen, Vita has less buttons...but one biggest strength of Switch is that is so practical, you go in second from home console mode to handheld mode, in second from handheld to tabletop mode, in second you can play local multiplayer on the go, all those things work great. Basically like Nintendo said, play like ever you want, wherever you want, whenever you want, with anyone you want.
Hardly we will see this with PS4/XB1 in near future (next 4-5 years), PS4/XB1 hardware will hardly fit in small factor and batter life will be huge issue in any case.
Nintendo will definitely have multiple versions of Switch, similar like they has with 3DS family.

From article its very simple to see why Switch gets love, you probably don't get Switch love because you look only power side, and power doesnt defines new generation and you have great console and great games even without big power. Switch with its concept definitely looks like next gen device.
