is 1tflop from Nvidia more powerful than 6 Scorpio AMD tflops or 4.2 AMD Pro tflops?

no, but considering that ps4 and xbox one have 1.84 tf and 1.31 and those are an old architecture, not polaris, and considering that both consoles have mobile cpus it's not that hard for the switch to be on par or just a bit behind because Nvidia is using their new architecture with more efficiency. Also, 0 load times, thanks to cartridge and 0 game installation (thankfully!). And you can't expect a tablet with the power of a ps4 pro or a xbox one scorpio for an affordable price because that's a fantasy.

are 4gb of ddr4 also the same as 8gb of gddr5? or 8gb gddr5 higher speed + extra 1gb ddr3? or 12gb of gddr5 in scorpio? please let me know, don't forget that Switch comes out after the ps4 pro and in the same year as Scorpio, why compare it with the old 2013 ps4/xb1? lol

i can't wait for Nintendo to announce the games line-up either, it will be such a good laugh

I like a good troll as much as the next guy but come on, you can do better than this.

Throw in some original stuff at least. Something about the Switch being low-tech because it isn't compatible with the Power Glove... Or maybe Nintendo being racist because the Switch isn't made from chicken. Give it another try, man.

sorry man, i don't want to be too hard on Switch after they showed Skyrim and NBA2K in their reveal trailer and 1 hour later Bethesda and 2KSports came out saying that Skyrim and NBA2K are not confirmed for the Switch, that's the biggest fail and lol of 2016, you were right that Switch is doing innovative things, never heard of that before

People hated the Switch when it was still called "Shield". Good for them for making Nintendo choose a better name. That's what I call groundbreaking design.

'was' ? Sounds like a postmortem :p
Is he having doubts already?

We'll find out once January hits. All this talk about just being Wii U ports is kinda ridiculous. That new 3D Mario that was briefly shown in the teaser definitely doesn't look like any port from a game I've seen before. And we don't know anything about what the rest of the main dev teams are making at this point, which includes Monolith Soft, Game Freak, Intelligent Systems, HAL, Sora Ltd, etc. Then you got the 3rd party partners. What other games besides DQX and XI and Sonic 2017 are confirmed to be on Switch?

You're doing it wrong. Trolling is an art form you know, you have to take your time. Why the rush? Now you'll get yourself banned (or at least this alt) with neiter upsetting NOR amusing anyone. What's the point? Have a little respect for the art.

Now thats a good trolling XD



My (locked) thread about how difficulty should be a decision for the developers, not the gamers.

guess i'll have to learn more from Nintendo, they did the biggest troll with the Wii/Wii U on Nintendo fans and now they're doing it again with the Switch, to make your fans fall a 3rd time for the same lie ... now that is art, Microsoft couldn't do it even once with xbox one in 2013
