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.

but the shield is a streaming device, can't run a game to save its life :

Please look up Shield Tablet.

Tegra Tablet with a controller that plugs into your TV. Sound familiar?

The 3DS had none of that. And it was a great handheld! 

i bet it was after they reduced the price by a great amount and offered desperate deals xbox one style lol

Doesn't hurt when they also have great games like Gen 6 Pokemon (with Gen 7 coming in less than a week), Mario 3D Land, Mario Kart 7, Animal Crossing New Leaf, Zelda ALBW, 3D Zelda Remakes, Fire Emblem Awakening and Fates, Kid Icarus Uprising, Smash Bros. for 3DS, Kirby Triple Deluxe and Planet Robobot, Tomodachi Life, Luigi's Mansion 2, etc. Then the third party support being solid with SMT, Monster Hunter, Yokai Watch, Dragon Quest, Etrian Odessey, Ace Attorney, Professor Layton, Puzzles and Dragons, Kingdom Hearts, and the Bravely games being some examples.

I know, the switch is basically the sequel, but a good sequel cause the nvidia shield was kinda shit for modern games. And now we don't have to stream the games using their services.

So you didn't look it up? Great. Now try again and stop talking about streaming. Thanks.

A Tegra Tablet with a controller that plugs into your TV. Sound familiar? Nintendo added a new Name and remodeled the controller, then called it a day.

Not saying they stole the idea, just that it's very very far from the definition of groundbreaking.

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.

Please, stop using the TFlops like that.

Nvidia has an advantage over AMD because their drivers are better when games run in DX11, and the situation is reversed when games run in DX12, even on older AMD architectures.

But none of that matters, because unless you're Microsoft, you can't use Direct X when developing for a console, so all that talk is useless.



Please excuse my bad English.

even when I I agree with you, you  are mean, I said that I KNOW and the SWITCH IS BASICALLY THE SEQUEL OF THE TABLET FROM NVIDIA, BUT THAT TABLET IS SHIT BECAUSE THE GAMES ARE not WOTH IT AND IF YOU WANT TO PLAY GOOD GAME ON THE TABLET YOU HAVE TO USE THEIR STREAMING SERVICE. caps lock because you deserve it.
