I mean. You aren't wrong. But... You know games can render at a higher resolution than the display right?

Of course but when resources are limited as they are in a portable device, no developer is going to render higher than screen output.  The anti-aliasing benefit just isn't worth it.

Hence the "you aren't wrong".

1) Very few people were making this claim and they were touted as morons by all of us and they've not been heard from since.

2) The Switch patent actually shows it doign VR.

3-4) What do these have to do with "'member when the NX was supposed to be more powerful than the PS4 + being a portable??"

 

In fact, far more people were claiming that Skyrim on Switch would not be the remaster edition (we know it is now) than there were people claiming Switch to be more powerful than PS4 and portable.

There was one user who kept claiming the Wii U was more powerful than the Xbox One/Playstation 4 because the eDRAM had more bandwidth.

You can't make this stuff up.

This forum used to be full of allot of crazies a few years back. Haha

I 'member....

This was never a thing though

NX being more powerful than PS4 and being a portable hybrid (2-in-1) were distinct rumours/speculations. 1tflop was what some people were unrealistically pushing for the portable hybrid, not it being more powerful PS4.   

Nope.

If you go back before the NX was even rumored to be a "Hybrid". There were all sorts of rumors on what the hardware might be.

There was also a reddit user last year who claimed it was more powerful than the Playstation 4 as well... Many users in these forums fapped at the possibility. Haha

I enjoy a good debate. And I enjoyed debating with those hilarious performance claims that many on these forums legitimately believed.
