I'm reading this article and for the first time sees a Switch out in the wild! I've seen a friends of mine before, but never being played on on the metro!

Thinking of getting me one myself either this year or the next, which means I need to buy Breath of the Wild again...

I was not trying to say Vita + PS4 is competitive to Switch, but it does offer a similar if restricted expereince. I absolutely think the Switch is great, and as I said I want Sony and Microsoft to eventually offer mobile products that have access to the games, apps, and services available on PS Store and Windows Store. I think it will happen sooner than you think though. PS4 Slim is already down to 60 Watts in the heaviest gaming situations. Getting down to the size and power requirements of the Switch will be no problem at 7nm. So we could see this as soon as late 2018 or 2019. If Nintendo keeps upgrading at a decent clip, Switch in 2019 should surpass base XBO and PS4.

Reviews for consoles at launch are pointless as they live and die by their games. All the tech reviews I read were positive whereas gaming websites had more lukewarm reviews which were strange.

In the end I think Nintendo's strategy for the hardware and first year release of software was spot on. Certainly looks like it will sell 10m +

Positive Nintendo news?? And a POLYGON article I like? Hell has truly frozen over!

Yes, PS4 Slim takes out around 60-65W peek, while Switch undocked using around 8-9W and docked around 15W. So there is no way that PS4/XB1 could come even to around 30-40W any time soon not to mentione 10-20W. AMD doesnt have so efficient mobile tech like Nvidia's Tegra tech, and PS4 and XB1 would need to use same AMD chips just in smaller nm.

Another good point is that Switch uses cartridges, so XB1/PS4 Switch like would need to be in that case digital only, because hardly you can have optic on that.

2019. is way too close for Switch to be able to surpass XB1/PS4 power with upgrade, another big problem would be battery life with that power in any case.

I dont believe my eyes... positive Nintendo news? Im going back to sleep Zzz

True, the 3DS was still an 8th gen console despite the fact it wasn't as powerful as a PS Vita or Xbox One and when everything's all said and done the 3DS will likely will end up the 2nd best selling 8th gen hardware. The power of the Switch in such a compact form factor that can be taken anywhere definitely put's the Switch a generation forward in terms of hardware progression.

It's funny how communication and marketing work. Nintendo makes the exactly same games (Zelda was already being developed for Wii U for years and Mario Kart 8 has been launched years ago), but the perception of people change because Nintendo cleared its message. Switch just corrected some flaws from 3DS (nobody care about 3D anymore, so a new portable without it and with more power was needed), Wii U (instead of a poor designed heavy control with screen, the system itself is in your hand, but you can separate the controls from it and can really play everywhere, not just near the TV) and Wii (instead of buying lots and lots of accessories, the system already comes with the possibility of two people playing together with motion controls, no cables between the two controllers like wiimote and nunchuk). NS is the result of rethinking all the things that went right and wrong in the last years of Nintendo, but don't necessarily show anything really new. Nintendo realize the most important thing: the problem wasn't games and wasn't graphic power. The problem was lack of simplicity in the message. You don't need to be a gamer to know what makes Switch unique. And people love Nintendo's games, they just needed the right reason to play them again.

that's the best article I read about Nintendo in a long while

Yes it's a cool system with very awesome games.
