OK, IGN.

 

They once added the clock speed of the 3 core X360 CPU to call it a 9.6 GHz system.  They edited the article pretty damn fast.

And that is why they are specialists and us mere users =p

So how do I play my WiiU games on Switch or my Switch games on WiiU? Where is the compatibility?

So how many generations must we add on the Handhelds due to Game Boys versions that older GBs couldn't play some games from newer, DS1 and N3DS?

Game&Watch -1

GB -2

Virtual Boy -3

GBC - 4

GBA - 5

DS - 6

DSi - 7

3DS - 8

N3DS - 9

Switch - 10

Is that how you would classify gen for Nintendo Handhelds?

Plus it seems like you just ignored the part of Virtua Boy and WiiU being killed of prematurely and being replaced, plus the HW inside Switch being in line with what we have in gen 8 but won't be for gen 9.

Virtual boy didn't have any mainstream games, all its games were focused on a special gimmick/feature... it is similar to EyeToy, PS Move, Kinect and PSVR, which all are additions to the "normal" games. It also wasn't very mobile/portable so I'm irritated that you count it to the handheld generations.

Over 95% of the DSi game library also ran on the DS, over 95% of the new3DS library also ran on the 3DS.

0% of the WiiU or 3DS games run on the Switch. 0% of the Switch games run on the 3DS/n3DS or WiiU.

Do you really want to claim that these situations are the same?
