GBA was a portable SNES

DS was a portable N64

3DS was a portable GC

Switch is a portable Wii? Nope.

Switch is a portable Wii-U? Nope

Switch is a portable Switch/PS4Pro*/Scorpio*

*not 100% nex-gen like Switch (plz no ban)

 

In portable mode the Switch is around 30 times weaker than PS4-Pro and 40 times weaker than Scorpio.

However, it only needs 1/80 of the power of a 4K PS4-Pro/Scorpio game using 3DS resolution. In fact, there's enough juice there to simulate 2 screens like DS/3DS or upscale to 720 instead.

3DS has 96k pixels, 4K has 8000k pixels (x80). Portable Switch ~150GF, Scorpio ~6000GF (x40)

 

Amazing achievement Nintendo, well done.

3DS was a portable Wii if you want to get your trolling correct.

Wasn't the GC a portable GC?



Bet with bluedawgs: I say Switch will outsell PS4 in 2018, he says PS4 will outsell Switch. He's now permabanned, but the bet will remain in my sig.

If Nintendo were forced to use a modern fabrication node and architecture, it would ruin the games
I'm honestly upset they ever went beyond 8 bit color. What were they thinking?

The undocked Switch is clearly a portable version of Switch. As for 4K Scorpio games, It can't play them at 720p but it can play them at 3DS resolution upscaled to 720p.

Well, yeah, I guess. I mean, how could it not be?
