it appears Vice City is not included. in the cartridge and has to be downloaded. It had to be my favourite. It had to be my favourite. Fuck...

They could be trying to maximize profits with a smaller sized cart.

The Switch is certainly 25.6GB/s which "on-paper" seems to be in the same ballpark.
But ask yourself this... What technologies has the Switch, thanks to it's nVidia Maxwell roots done to make more use of it?

No no, you missed my point, I wanted to point the weakest thing of the Switch, which is its bandwidth. But of course everything else make the Switch way more powerful.

No. You missed my point.

I am saying that the black and white numbers misconstrued out of it's technical context isn't accurate.

Yes bandwidth is one of the weakest aspects of the Switch, but not as much as you think... Especially at 720P.
nVidia put in allot of work to maximize bandwidth on Maxwell, hence why it was difficult for AMD to keep up at the time... Aggressive culling with a tiled based rasterization approach is extremely efficient... And big improvements to delta colour compression gave tangible real world gains...

AMD "tried" those approaches with it's GCN Vega architecture, unfortunately draw stream binning rasterization was a no-go, primitive shaders fell through and then they tried to bundle it with HBM DRAM to make up for the bandwidth.

It wasn't until RDNA that those technologies finally got activated and AMD regained competitiveness.
