I mean, if I was a thief in a train I would try to steal an Iphone, the value and the demand are far higher....

That's happened with people playing Pokémon Go.

Well there you have it then, it was all part of Nintendo's masterplan! They first released a mobile game that earned them hundreds of milions of dollars only to get people out of home and be distracted so that thiefs can take their phones instead of Nintendo's next handheld

Resolution isn't completely the tale of the tape and Apple proved this with their early retina screens not being super high resolution but having extremely density of pixels.

uhm.. you are aware that "high pixel density" just means they had "super high resolution" for a small screen size, right?

the Switch screen is at 237ppi, which is right around the lowest so called "retina" displays and a tiny bit higher than the Vita's 220ppi, but by todays standards is on the lower side in that metric

Even if that is the Switch's screen ppi it's right around or above tablets in the same price range! Not to mention that most of those devices don't come close to having the same controller tech out of the box for dedicated gaming.

But as I stated a screen can be 720p but have more ppi there are more factors into people just hearing 720p and saying that's garbage...



How is this more impressive than, for argument's sake, NBA 2K17 on an iPhone 7?

What concerns me is that Nintendo is asking people to spend $300 that they can reasonably get for $5-10 on an $800 device they need and already own. Whether they like it or not, they (along with Sony) are and have been going head-to-head with mobile gaming and losing badly.

I agree with that, my own tablet is a 800p/8" device (188ppi), but because it's screen brightness is still in the top class it's one of the few tablets that is useable in very bright environments.

That video unfortunately doesn't tell us much about how bright the screen actually can be, as it's shot in a quite dimly lit room, but I hope Nintendo made sure the display is bright enough for outside-gaming.

In terms of pixel density the Switch is in the same price bracket as the Huawei Mediapad M3, which comes in at 359ppi for it's 8.4" 2560x1600 res display.



People shouldn't care about the screen too much imo.Just the fact that you can take a mainline zelda and Mario made for a home console on the go with seemingly minimal sacrafices is awesome. The 237 ppi is double the density of 3DS XL, and I'm not complaining about that, because that is enough for Nintendo. Just look at how Pokemon Sun/Moon looked on the 3DS, which was 6 year old hardware.
Also does mobile have clickable buttons? Or mainline Zelda, Mario, and Pokemon games? Or do the sides slipped off and used for co-op or motion controls?Or Is the screen size not smaller than 6.2 for phones? I rest my case



Bet with Intrinsic:

The Switch will outsell 3DS (based on VGchartz numbers), according to me, while Intrinsic thinks the opposite will hold true. One month avatar control for the loser's avatar.

Tried it and thé screen is really good, even though thé black sides makes it look cheap ( its à Shame but i guess i wont Be able to wait for new Switch to remove thèse large black sides and add à micro), games are so much better on thé Switch than on thé TV ( to say thé truth Zelda is ugly on TV, but very décent on Switch )

Thats really too bad it doesnt have a better life battery because its so comfortable to play on such big handheld console



Predictions for end of 2014 HW sales:

 PS4: 17m   XB1: 10m    WiiU: 10m   Vita: 10m

in the Digital Foundry video the guys mentioned the TVs at least at the London and Frankfurt events were set up very very poorly, so it could look better on properly calibrated TV sets



Good news

I just feel the screen is a bit small if you want multiple people playing off of it

I tried it before with Smash U and it wasn't good, but it does look pretty sharp so it could work out

So what you're saying is people can and will steal absolutely anything? Switch or not.

Anything that draws attention. Which a Switch would definitely do.
