I play games for the fun, not for the power of the console.
If I played only for the power I've already burned my PSX, my Wii, my Wii U and my good ol' ZX Spectrum +3, 'cause they're all unpowerful crap right?
Well, we keep repeating the same argument. I never said this is not true. I do the same. To put my reasoning in a simpler way, assume you want to buy a car and manufacturer A has much bigger support on electronics, tyres, parts etc while manufacturer B does not. Count in that manufacturer B has worse finish in the car insides and at the same time consider that manufacturer B is selling at a bigger price point, merely because of 1 extra feature that might be important for some of the target group - 4x4 movement.
The way i see it, Nintendo is manufacturer B trying to compete with manufacturer A. All they have against them at the moment is portability and 1st party support. Even if you do not care about the trimmings.
I stil have my Gb, Gbc, Gba, Ds, Dsi, Ds lite, 3ds, 3ds+, Wii, N64, Snes, Nes, Gc, WiiU, Virtual boy, lynx, jaguar, 2600, 3do, dreamcast, mega drive, master system, game gear, mega cd, saturn, xbox, xbox360, xbox 1, psx, ps2, ps3 ps4. I love all of them for their own good reason. I am not shitting on any of them for being inferior. I just feel Nintendo is going to have another WiiU simply because of their choices. I am happy there are people thinking otherwise.

What facts? The reality is that we have absolutely no information about the Switch's hardware. And no, BotW is not a proof. 900p is normal because the game was originally supposed to be Wii U-only. How could they have had the time to redo all the textures for 1080p ?
I am not taking sides in any argument here, but redoing textures is much simpler than what it sounds really. Since most textures come from higher res sources (photos, computer graphics, cgi renders etc) all they would need to do essentially is batch resave them. Just saying. Now for what the reason might be... my guess would be saving money, even if we are talking about 1-2 months of development.

Nice one, didn't see that one, kept looking everywhere at the other one with the companies. Honestly, it does not make me very excited for many of the releases but this is of course personal. Which ones are you looking forward to?
