Reading through threads is somewhat confusing. Some people say that it's a Wii U, which, by some accounts, is an underpowered PS3 and Xbox 360.
Some people are saying that it's an underpowered Xbox One / PS4, but slightly more powerful than last gen hardware.
I'm confused. As the hardware gets full Unreal Engine support, I assumed that it was capable of doing last gen ports with 'relative' ease. Granted, there's no 'easy port' button, but early reports about the hardware claimed that getting things running on it takes considerably less work than the Wii U ever did.
So I guess what i'm asking is - hypothetically - can the switch do at least fantastic ports of last gen (xbox 360/ps3) titles, or what? Like when Bluepoint Games pulled off that magical port of Titanfall on the Xbox 360, hypothetically (not necessarily realistically), could the switch do a flawless version of Destiny 1? Titanfall? Diablo 3?
Or are the big 3rd party games of last gen held back once again by limitations of Nintendo hardware? As I said, reading through Gaf is confusing. I get that the devs aren't necessarily biting due to the unproven install base, but is there a concern that the hardware is incapable of doing those old AAA ports?
