Finally, a peasant machine to hit the sweet spot of 4K at 60fps. This should have been the made model Xbox One to begin with.

lmao, were there even any single non-SLI GPUs in 2013 that could hit 4k 60fps? Not even the 980 could get 4k 60fps without significant reductions in image quality

I wouldn't take a Xbox console if it was given to me for free.

You won't get any of that, but you will get new Forza...sooo yay?

I question the intelligence of anyone that owns a Switch at this point.

Any reason? I own 2 - best console ever.

RIP switch hopes and dreams on third party ports.

Square Enix has said they will focus on the Switch, not Scorpio. So thats a big win for the switch

People shitting on the Switch when it has something new each time a new console comes around. Meanwhile PS and Xbox are making new editions of the same console for not really any reason in particular.

Well "next-gen" hardware should be capable of providing "next-gen" results.

The DS went through 4 revisions, so did the 3DS. Nintendo invented pointless revisions, at least Microsoft and Sony allow the consoles to boost performance of past titles, which is rare in the Nintendo camp.

You can't create a machine with imaginary specs, Microsoft and Sony don't own time machines. If the highest end card on the market couldn't support 4K@60FPS then there was no hope for consoles to do so.

But you know, they never said they will stop supporting the ps4, so there you have it, the switch still has to compete with the ps4.

the switch is outselling the ps4 pro in japan right now. it has also broke records for Nintendo in almost every aspect. The switch is doing fine. and Square will never not support the ps4 because they are so close to Sony. As long as The Avengers Project and the rest of the new Marvel games that Square is making come to the switch Ill be happy.

This is odd. It seems too different to be a half cycle revision, but it's under-powered for a fully new console.

I think they're pulling a GBC, an upgrade rather than an all new console.
fully backwards compatible and going forward games will be programmed to detect which console it's played on and run in different modes for them, but there will also be some games the XB1 can't run.

When Microsoft said they will keep the XB1 alive for years, I think they just meant next console will just have upgraded specs but the same OS and architecture.

The Wii U had a successful launch too, didn't do the console any good in the long run. If the Switch is supposed to become a viable platform, it needs games. Right now it has one AAA title, that doesn't bode well. There are more in the hopper, but not nearly enough. We'll see what this E3 brings, but I remain skeptical.

And the normal ps4 has already sold a lot over there so...

I don't know why we're even comparing the Switch to a completely optional high-end revision of the system, the base model of the PS4 was not abandoned in favour of the Pro. Both the base PS4 and the Pro are sold concurrently with no plans to retire the base, they're both supported. The Switch is not competing with the Pro, the Switch is competing with the entire PS4 ecosystem.

4k/60 as standard is a dream on consoles.

Even if the hardware was there, extra power would just be put to use on shiny graphics. Very few devs would target 60fps.

Launch sales really mean nothing. And I can actually legitimately quote retroboy here, as it may be one of their best console launches, but if you factor in that the switch is the successor to both the 3ds and the wiiu, then it has a weaker launch than one might appear. Though personally I would say that's due at least partially to nintendo's terrible management of supply and demand.

So far I think we have 5 confirmed first party games, and very little third party games. For that to last an entire year is skeptical at best, but I have some hopes on the upcoming E3.

In comparison Xbox one has more exclusives and plenty of (non-Japanese) 3rd party support. Still a rather small number compared to PC and PS4, but they have E3 to bolster our hopes as well, just like nintendo does.

watch it be as pricey as a launch ps3 or even more

Just waiting for the graphics fans to getting wet dreams over these specs

They're all well and good, but I get the Switch because I wanted to

I wonder what's the scorpio's product name will be. Xbox One Pro?

It's meant to be a high-end optional model, just like the Pro - not only can it afford to be pricy compared to the base unit, it's kind of supposed to be the expensive, high-performance option.
