>linking a ps4 video in a nintendo thread

let me guess, you voted for trump?

let me guess, you fuck goats?

So can we get the no gimmick version that is just a normal console without the expensive shit like the touchscreen/battery I'm never going to use?

If I ever get a switch the thing would never leave it's dock anyway so why do I have to pay for functionality I'll literally never use?

>handheld runs worse then when docked into console

stop the presses

Okay here's what I think.

Where dose this console position itself? People buy PS4's and Xbox ones because they want the functionality of a main driver console that has third party support. Hell 95% of the market is third party games, you need it.

Will it try to be a standard console or is Nintendo going to try and market its uniqueness and perhaps be a cheap add-on for your PS4 or your PC?

The messaging is all wrong dude

why is it all about you? i want to use the portability

>handheld runs worse then when docked into console

What the fuck are you talking about? It runs worse when docked and better without the charger dock.

not only is that wrong it also doesn't make any fucking sense

you're fucking stupid

>obviously meant to show that the new ps4 pro is shittier

Holy shit are all the people who voted for Hilldog this retarded

1920x1080 = 100%
1280x720 = 40%

sounds about right

Why is it all about you? Why are you so stupid that you think there can be only one SKU?

Stop shitposting faggot

I will when mods stop being selective faggots

>report says it's just to save battery life and there;s no technical reason for why it needs to run worse

God, that's so fucking stupid. Make it a god damn option then

they aren't, you just notice it more when you're shitposting about nintendo which is literally all you do

but why does that matter user, this is a thread about the Nintendo Switch, not the PS4 Pro, make a thread about how bad the PS4 Pro is if that is what you want to do.

Let me guess, you voted for trump too?

>touchscreen
>battery
>expensive
Kek. The battery is probably no more expensive than the shit you see in other wireless controllers these days.

Well considering they made the choice for you I'm willing to bet the battery life at full draw would be really really short, like sub-20 minutes short.

It's usually the last 10-20% of performance on a device that gets really energy inefficient and to downcycle the clockspeed by 40% tells me they really wanted to extend that life as long as possible.

I archived it because OP is an obvious shill trying to bait replies.

tl;dr: RUMORS and SPECULATIONS that cite UNNAMED SOURCES are SUGGESTING these as being POSSIBILITIES

Next time reply to the OP so people can actually see the non-shill link

Sure is sony viral marketers posting rumors in here.

that's not how those numbers work at all

God, that sounds terrible. I was going to get this, but I might skip Nintendo for another generation.

Wow it's almost as if going into handheld mode calls for it to work harder. A newly sentient monkey with an hour in IT could figure this out.

If you've ever had a Gaming laptop they usually have this as a default where they reduce the gpu to save battery life because of the screen.

How the fuck are people suprised this limitation? It would probably only last an hour max if it was cranked to max off the dock, which once hacking starts appearing on the Switch will become extremely clear if somebody decides to bypass this.

then how else?

1920 x 1080 = 2073600 Pixel
1280 x 720 = 921600 Pixel

40% of Full HD is 829.440,00 so it actually sounds about right.

This is you

>Where dose this console position itself?

it's a handheld that hooks up to your TV as a pittance for the West, they're clearly building this thing for the Japanese market first.

they're going after all the mid range PS4/PSV games and with the PS4 sticking around for a while and Vita on it's last legs the Compile Hearts of the world may make game their PS4 ports for the Switch instead for better domestic sales, while not giving up the more lucrative international PS4 sales.

>No Counter Arguments
>T-This is you

Allright user, now go and play your call of doodie.

>cpu is the same if docked or undocked
>only things that will change is gpu

This is bad news. The dock was supposed to add power to The Switch, not lose power for not being hooked up to it.

This is what we've been saying for months. When undocked, the unit will enter a power saving mode and run games at 720p.

>they're clearly building this thing for the Japanese market first.
I think this is what a lot of critics don't get. Japan has gone mostly handheld. Console sales are plunging.

This is an attempt to bridge the two.

It may not make as much sense in the west because consoles are still strong.

you don't "have" to pay for anything, nintendork.

>yfw Switch is just a gimmickier and less powerful Playstation Remote Play

>switch is less powerful when not docked
>switch is more powerful when docked
It's the same thing

It's technically the same but in this context it's about the phrasing used because you could either make it out to be a positive or negative feature of the console. Half empty/half full type of scenario here.

Your math is wrong.

It's 40% less (which is 60%), not running at 40%.

WHOA IT'S ALMOST LIKE NINTENDO SELLING SHITTY GIMPED HARDWARE WITH NO GAMES BASED SOLELY OFF A GIMMICK AND A COOL COMMERCIAL

THEY'VE NEVER DONE THAT BEFORE

you sure owned him there

no it's 60% less, 307 MHz / 760 MHz = 0,40

>b-b-but sony
every time

Because people didn't actually think Nintendo's next big mindblower would actually just be a shitty hybrid that sucks at both of it's functions instead of just being one good console?

>RUMORS and SPECULATIONS that cite UNNAMED SOURCES are SUGGESTING these as being POSSIBILITIES

I love how video game journalism works.

Wow, the 12th will really make or break this thing. And it's not like Nintendo to say anything about specs.

Fuck it, I'm optimistic. Good games or bust.

Delete this shit fucking thread mods

B-B-BUT SONY

console gaming is dead

>Let me guess, you voted for trump too?
L M A O, this has to be bait

he's right tho

tbf the gpu is just slightly under the xbone 768vs800 Mhz. So the gpu is good. I was hoping for the same power as the Xbone S which is like 850 Mhz. If they went with pascal it probably would have achieved this.
But the cpu is the issue. Its clocked at 1Ghz roughly whereas the xbone is clocked at 1.75ghz. So unless it has godlike instructions per clock I dont see it running new AAA games. Its slightly possible since amd doesnt have a good IPC and ARM is pretty good at it. Also the gpu can be overclocked to beat the xbone and the cpu can as well. So it depends on if Nintendo is willing to unlock the cpu in docked mode. The issue with that is the game logic when undocked.

Why is this thread stil up?

M8 it's confirmed he got a dud. Also this is a Nintendo switch thread.

yes, that's why we are talking about Switch

Literally impossible.

Console is advertised to be X powerful and capable of being X+10 when docked.
Console actually has X-10 power and reaches X when docked.

people complained that full performance would kill the battery. now people are complaining that they won't get full performance.

do you faggots even know what you want?

Something that works and is able to compete on the fucking 2016 market

Clicks are hard to get user, gotta pay that expensive ass home in san francisco.

You mean like the Wii did in 2006? Power means fuck all if you want to "complete on the fucking 2016 market"

>vita announced
>OMG IT CAN PLAY PS3 LEVEL GAMES?! OMG

>Switch announced
>It can only play Wii U level games? Pfft Nintendoomed

I don't understand.

People were also complaining before about how the dock doesn't make it more powerful.

>he
There are 12 people in that video user

Well, yeah. Because I like to win.

youtube.com/watch?v=GqbPANFzBgg

I think you meant to say: "Nintendo Switch runs 40% FASTER when docked", right?

I thought it was confirmed that the dock wouldn't affect the power of the console?

The vita was years ago, technology is more advanced nowadays. Of course people expect more, and rightfully so

>technology is more advanced nowadays
Not much has really changed since 2012 though.

Unless you guys actually want to pay $700+ for a console, why are you all whining?

It's not even true, compare the ps3 version of Borderlands to the Vita version. The switch is alot more powerful.

No, that was literally just someone on Sup Forums who clearly doesn't speak English as their first language. When asked if the dock is the console, Nintendo said no, it just charges it and provides power, and they took that to mean power as in electricity, even though that's understood when you say charging it. Said person kept repeating it though, and now that's what everyone on Sup Forums believes.

The vita was years ago

Although desu the Switch is a generational leap from the Vita, it could never run something like Zelda at full speed 720p.

it's mediocre as a console but the strongest handheld by far

>that cite UNNAMED SOURCES
that's usualy how leaks work, numbnuts.

Also, call some else a shill while you shill for Nintendo is hilarious.

>>He

There are twenty different people in that video bud.

>B-B-B-BUT SONY

But the opposite hasn't been proven either, it's just rumors and speculation just like the shit you're talking about. How come rumors and speculation are only okay when you want to believe it?

This guys pretty much nails this:
youtube.com/watch?v=N-3e2bpm3hg&t=0s

And? cheap components haven't increased that much since the vita was released. I keep seeing people saying "BUH MUH SMART PHONE IS STRONGERS" yet don't realize how idiotic it is to say that when people pay over 700 for a phone with a screen that can be replaced for less than $50.

Is there stronger portable tech out there? Hell yeah!
Is it affordable? Hell fucking no.

>it could never run something like Zelda at full speed 720p.
and yet it can

What I said came straight from Nintendo. Give me some time to find the link.

What the fuck are you whining about get a grip

The vita can't even display 720p, reading comprehension

>ITT: people don't understand Nintendo's philosophy of lateral thinking with withered technology

Numbers isn't everything.

W------A-----------H------------O--------------------O

I remember when this board used to say that graphics don't matter, wonder what changed.

>reading comprehension
your typing is shit, fag

Sales and 3rd party game numbers in particular
