Left: The GPU equivalent to the PS4, launched in 2012
Right: The GPU equivalent to the Wii U, launched in 2008
Now keep in mind the Nintendo Switch is just a little bit stronger than a Wii U.
Congratulations. Nintendo is selling us 2009~ tier hardware in 2017, that will stay around until like 2021 or so. That'll be $300 USD.
Keep practicing your bait threads user.
>state facts
>hur bait
in what universe did the wii U launch in 2008
You can't possibly say with a straight face that a certain gpu can be equivalent to a console graphics chip
Sure let's ignore os overhead and optimizations
Kys
The GPU, idiot.
>desktop GPUs don't have drivers and optimizations
>windows overhead vs unix
Kys underage shitposter
>consoles don't give us the option to switch out gpus
they might as well at this point since we can already replace the harddrive in the ps4
And then you get bottlenecked by the consoles' shit tier CPU.
PS4 Pro GPU has rx 480-tier GPU, but the CPU fucks it over, so the actual performance is like 470.
good point
Play your PS4 on the go without paying 3000 dollars. I'll wait.
>dress up lies as facts
>it's okay if it has shit hardware because you can play it on the go!
>get a mediocre
>plug in controller
>stream games from the ps4 just fine
of course I wouldn't expect nintenchildren to be up to date with currently technology
mediocre laptop*
>>stream games
This is the worst solution; introducing unnecessary input lag is the fastest way to kill a game's enjoyment
It's not Nintendo's fault, really. They just wanna make money and over the years they've learned they don't have to even try to do it. Remember that drones are called drones for a reason, they will mindlessly buy ANYTHING with nintendo label. Just look at Switch, Amiboos, mini NES shit, it's all garbage.
>conveniently ignoring the Wii U
>Stream games
You have no concept of what portable is do you? You think the Wii U is portable also? LMAO.
>b-but you can play on the go!
Yes. That's quite literally a feature of specific devices that people look for. When a person buys a laptop, they don't purchase that laptop to have it sit where their desktop was. They purchase that laptop to have the capability of not being tied down to a single stationary spot.
Or are you too underage to understand this BASIC concept? Actually, even children get this concept, so I don't know what the fuck you are. I guess you're just autistic.
This guy is right, nintendo are simply clever fucks, they know that they don't need innovation as long as the drones keep buying whatever they are releasing.
>Switch
That's a strange way to spell "puzzle".
>Comparing mid to high end PC hardware to a handheld
Nintendo is stupid for marketing as a console because people are going to compare it to other consoles, which is not really reasonable.
But as a handheld it is a decent device, and these comparisons mean nothing.
>b-but it's a handheld
I love this argument when someone calls out the Switch's shit hardware.
I don't even have a switch, and I don't know if the hardware is decent for a mobile device. But comparing it to PC GPU's, which are bigger than the system itself doesn't mean anything.
Are you retarded? Comparing performance, not fucking physical size. There are chips today much smaller than those from 10 years ago with x4 the performance.
they should of just sold it as a handheld for 200bucks, make the dock a seperate accessory for when you do want to plug in to the tv, then develop and create an actual console with proper hardware that can compete and gather 3rd party support
instead they're just going to cry and beg developers to make shit for their machine despite it hardly being able to handle anything in the first place making it a pain in the ass to develop for. I'm really curious as to what frame rate Skyrim is going to run at on that abomination.
Its hybrid trash, either make a console or make a handheld, but don't try and do both because its just going to perform like shit
fun fact : Scorpio will get the rx480 as well.
Yeah, that is the general idea of portable consoles. Good job catching up with the rest of us
It's shit on both ends
>console
>underpowered as fuck
>way too expensive compared to the PS4
>pro controller is an extra $70
>handheld
>bulky
>screen is delicate as fuck
>waaay too damn expensive for a handheld device
This was just Nintendo cheaping out and ended up pleasing no one.
I wanted a 720p dedicated handheld to replace the fucking 240p 3DS, but not like this.
...
This, my man.
I recently had the realization that the switch is just a Vita, with nintendo design and marketing
