This attitude is what really kills a videogame console.
Really? "Oh, it won't have what I thought, I won't buy it then" Well guess what? less sales = less interest in developing official games = faster kill of the console
Switch isn't even out and people already starts bitchin' about it, we have to see what things have to come in the near future ffs.
Not that I'm not complaining about this attitude, but thinking and acting like this surely kills consoles
When its coming with 5 launch games and no 3rd party support its already dead. Same thing happened with the WiiU and its dead, same things is going to happen with the Switch.
Its NOT our attitude its NintenDOH being stupid and releasing a 5 year old console way after its time.
Think about it. $ony have the PS4 already. Micro$oft have the XboxOne already. The Switch is crap compared to those 2 consoles. Its actually crap compared to last gen consoles. Even the WiiU released with 1080P games where the Switch is releasing with 900P games? Thats a downgrade not an upgrade.
NintenDOH are taking a huge step backwards. They are killing it themselves. Nothing to do with us. WHY would we want to buy any game with lower resolution than other consoles? xboxoneS has 4K games. PS4Pro has 4K games. Switch has 900p games???? NO THANKS. FAIL.

wat. Did you suddenly forget what the xbox one and ps4 launch (and all other launch consoles) were like? Is this your first console release experience?

Also, 900p is internal resolution. It gets bumped up to 1080p before you see it on the big screen. which, is the same as Wii U. And many ps4 games and xbox one games do this as well (The unreleased scorpio says they're aiming for 4k internal resolution though, which will be fun. We'll see how well that goes.) But yes, the industry is trying to move more to 1080p internal. and the switch may be perfectly capable of this for many games. We'll have to wait and see. But judging the limits of a console by its semi-ported, very first release game is a bit...ehh...silly.

And the soon to be released 12 teraflop AMD video card says hi to the 1.9 teraflop AMD ps4. Really, if power is going to win you over, then you've already lost. ps4 and xbox one are awesome, and wishing the switch was more powerful is perfectly understandable. But it's dead on arrival because it's not as powerful as them as a handheld? come oooooon. I mean, seriously. what's up with that.

It's not a handheld. Stop saying it's a handheld ! It doesn't have the battery life of a handheld, it doesn't have the size of a hanfheld, you can't carry it around comfortable. You need a fucking suitcase to drag the thing around. It's a hybrid and more of a home console stated by Nintendo of America itself. So stop comparing it to a handheld to justify the low specs when it's a damn hybrid.

It's a hybrid, that doesn't change the fact that it has better battery life than the O3DS XL. Or that it's only slightly bigger than one minus the joy cons. Nobody was carrying around 3DS XL in their pocket anyway, you needed a case just as you'll need for Switch.

Sorry. I have to correct you.
I have an XB1S, and I love it.
But the XB1S rarely goes up to 1080p in any game. Even FFXV that looks beautiful TBH goes down a lot in some complex environments, perhaps even to 480p, very blurry.
It doesn't do any game above 1080p.
It doesn't even do youtube above 1080p.
The only thing it does at 4k are blurays and netflix.
And AFAIK the switch could also do netflix at 4k.

Suure, PS4Pro and XBonerS have both 4k resolution and constant, smooth 60 fps in all games :creep:
Do you care that much for a stupid resolution? (I can understand the frames tho, but 30 is somewhat ok)
Do you care that much about 60 fps?
If so, then go ahead and do not buy the damn Switch if the only thing you're going to do is complaining about how it's not the portable PS4/XBoner you're looking for.
Easy right?

30 fps is fine as long as the frametiming is okay. I hate it when most games only support 30 fps but frametiming is way off wich makes it less smooth. I care more about frametiming then actual framerate. I can use Riviatuner on PC to get a smoother frametiming but on console i can't, so if they accomplish a smooth frametiming then i'm okay with it being 30fps.

Yeah, I understand your point.
But it seems that almost everybody that complains about the "900p, 30 fps" of the Switch are hardcore PC gamers that always play their games at (1080p/4k, 60fps) (My PC is a complete shit, running games at 900p, 24 fps and I don't complain guys).

I always game in native 4k tho but i use a pc for that reason. I still have my standards how games should be on a console but i'm usually fine as long as i don't see drops causing tearing and a messed up frametime

A developer has finally spoken out.
Titanfall 2 senior designer Mohammad Alavi recently spoke with Drunk Tech Review about Nintendo Switch, saying that he likes the console but noted that it is very under-powered compared to the PS4 and Xbox One. When he was asked whether or not Titanfall 2 would ever come to the Nintendo Switch, he replied with a very definitive “F*** no! You’re not going to be able to fit Titanfall 2 on the Nintendo Switch.”


it is rumored to have 8 gig of ram and a like 1060 gpu with 3.5 tflop! take note it is not confirmed but why not!

d...do you know what "hybrid" means?

it's a handheld with closer to console power, or it's a console that can be used as a handheld. i'm guessing you don't think any of the phablet phones are actually phones? they're just shitty tablets?

No it doesn't mean that. It's a new term in the console market and it doesn't mean that at all. Stop making stuff up to fuel your fanboyism
