So much blatant ignorance to how games scale in this thread. There is nothing in the rumors for NS that should suggest it couldn't run GTA6 yet.

NS CPU is better than PS/XB

NS GPU is same tech but lower performance of XB - scaling can easily compensate this and still look just as good on the portable screen and likely minor differences (to XB1) on big screen

NS RAM is just about as good as XB and slower than PS. 3.2GB is marginally less than the 5GB PS/XB have, but any big AAA out now also runs on PC and low settings with only 2GB of RAM and a console always runs more efficient than PC.

See my thread on this comparison in sig if you want to discuss more directly. Sorry to go off-topic.

on-topic, I'd buy only on Switch so long as support does come as I think it will. I'd likely sell/give my XboxOne away at that point as I don't see a reason to keep it in my front room.

I'd rather play it on my PS4 or Xbox One but for the sake of this thread I'll go with the Switch (which I can play on the TV as well).

How do you know that online will be free for the Switch? Has Nintendo announced that?

What is "LAN/download play" and why is much simpler and cheaper on Switch?

How do you know that Splitscreen will be standard for Switch games?

From my own experience, it wasn't exactly a big issue.
But yes. There would, but it is certainly less than some TV's with all their crappy post-processing.

Well. If you have a decent network, it's a non issue.

the difference is that the Switch won't die after using it for less than two hours

It's not only your network that you have to worry about ... 

It also depends on the network you're going to play from too since you also have to depend on a foreign network to be able to reliably broadcast the stream from you're network and getting high quality streams requires very high upload and download bandwidth too ... 

If I am in my own home. (The only place where I play video games.) Then my homes network is the only thing I need to worry about. - It is more than enough to allow streaming of games to the Shield that look better than the Playstation 4 Pro. Downsampling is fabulous.

When you start taking it over the internet, then your internet connection becomes the limiting factor. - Unfortunately, I am limited to the laws of Physics on that front as attenuation on the twisted copper pair limits me to only 6Mbps down/1Mbps up. - Getting the NBN in the next 3 months though, 100Mbps down/40Mbps up, hopefully I can forgo interleaving on my line for lower latency.

The weight and weight distribution of that 600g handheld-brick.

I was very interested in the Nvidia Shield when it was announced, but the first time I held it in my hands I was very disappointed.

I guess some people would have to choose but I'm just buying it because it's from Nintendo. It could be a Nintendo branded scooter and I might buy it instead of a car.

What about this:
