| LethalP said: Switches extra VRAM and more modern tech do make it more powerful than the PS3 overall, and it allows for the higher resolutions of 900p and 1080p. But it's not going to run games that look much different to PS3 level visuals. I mean maybe something like GoW III at 900p at most. Point is it's weak enough to not get gen 8 multiplats, just like the WiiU, just like the PS3. It's not getting Red Dead, Anthem, Witcher 3, Battlefront II because they were designed to run on home consoles that were at least 3 times more powerful. And remember the Switch itself is limited by the fact that it has to run all it's games within 150 GFLOPS in portable mode. Now that's the real kicker. |
It's not quite the same situation as the Wii U though; that little bit more power, more modern tech, and better engine support means it at least gets ports of stuff like Sonic Forces, Snake Pass, Rocket League, Redout, etc that wouldn't have happened on Wii U.
It may not be getting high-end AAA titles, but that was never an option for a portable form factor, and honestly, it doesn't need them, PS4/Xbone already have that niche locked down.
