Yuck. This is the worst day imaginable.

Saying a console is powered by Nivida could be the best day ever! untill you realize its the mobile chips, which are quite slow and nobody uses, then sir, you and me are both having bad days,

Yeah, because AMD's mobile SoCs are soo much better than Nvidia's and everyone uses them... oh, wait...

Where are you getting that from? So far we've only seen 1 PS4/XB1 game running on NX (Skyrim: Special Edition), and considering that NX seems to have a 720p screen, I'm guessing it plays at 720p on NX while XB1 and PS4 both play it at 1080p. 

the  reports are assuming that it plays games upscalled on 4K @higher resolution than 720p on the docking station, and its around Xbox One perforamance

I thought the idea of turning away from dual screens a good move, the console will not have to do double duty.
This is going to be very cool



My grammar errors are justified by the fact that I am a brazilian living in Brazil. I am also very stupid.

I don't think people were wanting AMD over Nvidia for a portable unit, but rather, an AMD home console that instead streams to a HH device ala a very advanced form of remote play, made possible by the SCDs.

For a device like this, then yeah, Nvidia was a better choice than AMD.

Its like the saddest day ever for me. I personally feel devastated. Decades of Nintendo console support is gone in favor of a 720p tablet that doesn't even render a native 720p. Gen 9 machine is weaker than gen 8 hardware. Base gen 8 hardware.

Saddest day ever.

Let's just hope that we don't know everything yet and that the SCD's cloud abilities are as great as some have speculated.  :)



FL 12_1 confirmed for the Switch I guess ...
