Tell me if I missed anything!
What we definitely know
- It has a Tegra chip
- Uses Cartridges
- Display is HD (whether it's 720p or 1080p we can't confirm just yet, might be 900p for all we know.)
- Takes about a second or so for games to switch between docked and undocked.
- Not much else.
- Nintendo will not sell the switch at a loss
- They are planning to sell 2 million units by the end of March
- Nintendo are open to consumer ideal prices (possibly surveys?)
- While Nintendo is not selling this machine at a loss Nvidia could be providing chips at a loss so the console is cheap enough for a chance to get a large place in the market.
- Since they're planning to sell 2 million units by the end of march expect the switch to come out mid march between the 19th and 25th of March, this is based on the fact that the Wii U sold 3million units in the first six weeks.
- Nintendo is finally thinking about what the consumer wants here's hoping they're truly open and actually listen.
You might find this funny, but there's a lot of arguments over what exactly the dock does.- One way it's believed to work is by just providing power and a throughput for HDMI output. (Confirmed)
- Another is that it allows the CPU and GPU to max out and more or less overclock (confirmed by LPVG)
The third is that there is a hot swappable GPU inside to provide 500Gflops of additional power
