Switch. Main problem for Scorpio is exclusives. Most gamers would already have a PS4 and won't probably upgrade to Scorpio due to PS4's exclusive games. Hence they'll get a Switch to play those Nintendo exclusive games. I have all 3 consoles and won't upgrade my PS4 nor my XBOX One Elite unless they are broken or so.

Where will my Japanese RPG games be ? Answer : Certainly not on Scorpio.

I'll would take a Switch

true. it seems like Vita + Wii U fusion = Switch.  if we get all those JRPGs for Switch.  :)



i just saw my first switch at a nintendo kiosk in the mall. man the joycons feel awfully cheap and clicky. I dont like the analog sticks either.  way to tiny. Which is understandable since the thing is tiny.

 

it was smaller then i expected. but it made me realize this isn't the console for me.  First time i'll skip a nintendo console besides the 2ds.

 

I do have an x1 but i'll grab scorpio. xbox has teh greatest controllers ever. im in love. My main reason for leaving sony was the controller. my thumbs would hit sometimes cuz the analogs are to close in the center. awful design from the 90's still around.

Pro controller?

Well assuming it will be $400

I'd rather spend $150 more and get

Switch $300
Ps4/x1 $250

And have access to a wider selection of games. If the Scorpio is priced more than $400, that deal becomes sweeter.

This!

Switch, as the Scorpio will have no exclusive games as my PS4 and X1 can cover anything that the Switch has to offer. If I did not have a PS4 or X1 though...still Switch.

Portability over 4K in my book.

if there's one thing to be said about the Switch, its that the build quality is extremely good, maybe the best of any generation for Nintendo (particularly when compared with their last few handhelds).

I've been playing Fast RMX, Zelda, Shovel Knight- everything controls incredibly well with the Switch controls. You may be mistaking their flexibility as 'cheap'. bear in mind they are DETACHABLE ends that can be used in totally different fashions; so of course they're going to feel a bit different (input wise), but from my experience after a few minutes they feel practically the same as every other high quality control setup in the last few gens. And personally I feel that the Switch controls feel wayyyy more comfortable than the 3DS (which felt cramped for me).

also I'm referring to the Joycons attached in portable mode... its mega comfortable that way.

As far as the Joycons connected to the Joycon controller base-? yeah, that's not quite as comfortable as a standard Pro controller but its not really meant to replace a Pro controller or the handheld mode imo

Also small? the screen on the Switch is much larger than the Vita or 3DS XL and if anything (for portability sake) it is quite large. I like that personally, but to make a claim that its 'small' is absurd. Its like mini tablet sized. If you're used to 'handheld gaming' than its bigger than any other option that has been on the market the last few gens

 

also newsflash: if you used a demo Switch at a store then that means that literally HUNDREDS of people who give zero shits probably had already touched those control buttons/sticks and worn it down. Just saying. I rarely recall going up to demo units in stores and the controllers being in good shape particularly. Some 5 year old kid can walk up and yank a joystick like a lunatic if they want.

 

The Switch may have a few issues that need addressed (cough VC and adding UI features / browser), but quality is the last complaint I'd have. Controls are great, system is sturdy, and the screen has great color/visuals. Quality is the last issue here and probably a big part of why it launched at $299

Pro controller?

that too, Switch Pro Controller is awesome if someone's not in love with the Joycons. Bear in mind you can use your Pro Controller while in portable mode as well



Is this also assuming I do not own a PS4? If yes, then Xbox Scorpio as much more games. If I can have a PS4 then, Xbox exclusives are pretty meh to me. So I'd go with the Switch and get the inferior multiplats on PS.
