It doesnt sounds at all like he knows what is Switchs final and exact specs, or that he knows anything about Switch tools and APIs that Nvidia specifically made for Switch. So his opinion on this matter is useless, better wait on opinion of some dev that actualy knows facts and actualy working on Switch.

Hopefully the reveal will dispel this.

Just 12 days to know the truth, to all the sony guys here you only want to believe the bad rumors, but a good rumor is always fake... hahaha is so funny.

Thinking that 3rd parties will make multi platform games from ground just for Switch is crazy, of course they will port XB1/PS4 games and not make same games from grund just for Switch.

I know this is going to sound like one of "those" posts but... I don't care. I'm so burnt out on the sameness of PS4 and Xbox One that losing their ports is welcome. If the Switch turns into another Nintendo-only console, I will be more than happy.

I don't think Nintendo is aiming for hardware that can match ps4 or x1 so don't go in expecting that out of the Switch, a console-handheld hybrid.

I welcome third party support but with titles built for the Switch.

Sry but whole opinion of this "Ex-Ubisoft Dev" sounds like opinion out of his arse. It doesnt sounds at all like he knows what is Switchs final and exact specs, or that he knows anything about Switch tools and APIs that Nvidia specifically made for Switch, it seems he just giving his opinion about porting based just on rumoured specs without any other infos about Switch, like other details about hardware, tools, APIs... So his opinion on this matter is almost useless, better to wait on opinion of some dev that actualy knows Switch facts and actualy working on Switch.

Of Course that porting is possible with scaling down and downgrades. Comparing with PS3/Xbox360 is not same thing, Switch has very modern tech/architecture (more modern than XB1/PS4 actually) while PS3/Xbox360 are tech/architecture from around 2005, also Switch is more powerful, and most important Switch is new console and of course new console on launch will get more support than 12 years old consoles.

It doesnt sounds at all he is working on Switch or that knows any facts about Switch, it seems he just giving his opinion about porting based just on rumoured specs without any other info about Switch, other details about hardware, tools, APIs...

And to expand on that, they don't want to buy two seperate devices with seperate software libraries, seperate online stores and no cross-over for virtual console titles. If you wanted to play Fire Emblem, Animal Crossing, Xenoblade, Splatoon, etc. than you needed both a 3DS and a Wii U.

If you bought a 3DS and a Wii U at launch thats $600 you spent to get the full Nintendo ecosystem. Even today, 3DS costs between $80-200 depending on the model and Wii U is still $300 so the total cost of the Nintendo ecosystem is still roughly $450 give or take. Switch is rumored to launch at $250/300 for basic/premium sku so its significantly cheaper than last generation.

Having Switch be so much more affordable and accessible than 3DS+Wii U gives it potential to add new consumers that didnt invest in the Nintendo ecosystem last generation.

I agree, the funny thing is that alot of people who complain about Nintendo not having multiplats are people who already own a PS4 or XBO.

I think keeping expectations low is definitely the way to go with this one, though I wouldn't flag it as truth until the teardown happens. What if this thing has 260 CUDA Cores instead!?!?!?!?
