For the new Xenoblade Chronicles 2 I think it being a direct sequel has more to do with the art style than anything else. XCX was said by the developers to be its own thing set apart from the first and now second game.

XC was not an anime cel shaded game. Not sure where you got that idea.

Of course it wasn't cell shaded, but this new game looks like the next generation of where those graphics started. XCX and XC clearly share different art styles, so this new game isn't trying to go for a realistic design and instead is using more of a anime fantasy world.

And this was Skyrim on ps3

It was indeed unplayable, so unplayable I gave up after 80 hours :)

It's still going to be an improvement over WiiU, a big step up compared to ps3 and 360, huge leap over Wii, astronomical leap over 3DS. Plus since muliple performance specs are build in from the start, a refresh a few years in should be very easy.

Now I did see someone asking for Star Citizen for Switch in the top 5 gaming wishes. I hope he/she was joking. Kerbal space program is a much better fit!

The Tegra X1 in the Switch is 384 GFLOPS in docked mode and 152 GFLOPS undocked ... and games have to be able to run in both modes.

500 GFLOPS is a hypothetical top tier performance for the X1, even in the Shield Console is can only hold 500 GFLOP performance for a few minutes before it throttles itself down to 384 GFLOPS. 

Thats it? The XB1 is 1.3tflops and the PS4 is 1.8. Thats about the same power as the Wii U.



Made a bet with LipeJJ and HylianYoshi that the XB1 will reach 30 million before Wii U reaches 15 million. Loser has to get avatar picked by winner for 6 months (or if I lose, either 6 months avatar control for both Lipe and Hylian, or my patrick avatar comes back forever).

People need to accept Switch is only à slightly better WiiU



Predictions for end of 2014 HW sales:

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

It's not the next generation of where anything started. Both XC and X share a similar art style. No they aren'tthe same, but very similar. XC2 is an entirely different direction that is frankly a cop out to a generic anime style.

People are going to see that power will mean less and less in the future. It's all going to come down to one thing, optimization. That's the future of devices in general.

If it was only slightly better it wouldn't run Mario Kart 8 at 1080p without a problem.

Actually, Intel has been saying a few similar things for a while.

Switch graphics look fine to me. They may not match PS4 or Xbox One pixel for pixel, but honestly I think Mario Odyssey looks absolutely beautiful, and if that's the kind of visuals we can expect moving forwards, I'd be more than happy.

So who gave you the specs? Or did you go and steal a Switch and take it apart?
