Theres a good opportunity everywhere, thats not the point im making. Im saying xv didnt bomb on the userbase it had, so lowering base specs is not something id willingly go for just to appeal to more people. Im fully aware how much everyone wants everything to come to switch and every console to turn into the switch but i like to think their markets can still coexist while catering to slightly different needs without compromising on the other.
And screw it, im done trying to have a normal conversation with nintendo fans. Every time i try, im met with the same toxic hostility because im not drooling over everything nintendo does.
And yeah, obviously i dont want games to come to a console i bought in its second month and still do have it. Im just retarded like that. You totally have it figured out.
First, nobody asked you for your thoughts about their games. You're allowed to play Nintendo's games, and decide that you don't like them, or be critical of them, or love them, or be indifferent. You have a right to your preference, and nobody has sought to take your preference away from you. However, you're in the wrong here, and you haven't endeared yourself to anybody by tarring Nintendo fans with the same brush - We're a very broad and diverse church. You haven't engaged in a "normal" conversation... at all, and that much is apparent from the tone of your post.
"Everyone wants every console to turn into the Switch", REALLY? No. People like to and should have more options when deciding how and when they want to play, and being able to take games on the move is important because TIME is currency there. Not being confined to four walls and a TV set is liberating - There's an understandable appeal for people of a certain age, or people with disabilities, or anybody trying to keep up with an ever faster-living world. Excuse Switch owners for wanting to take advantage of the options available to them, or wanting more games to play on their platform of choice!!
BTW, on "scale", I wouldn't worry there. The Switch hosts LOZ: Breath Of The Wild unoptimised, and the size, verticality, physics-driven gameplay and seamlessness of that open-world are truly something else. Like Xenoblade Chronicles X on the Wii U (a less powerful system), It's bigger than several open-world titles combined, and not only could they fit on their media, both were achieved without development costs escalating to unsustainable levels, let alone those seen with Final Fantasy XV. I can't begin to imagine what is possible for the next LOZ and other ambitious titles built from-the-ground-up for the Switch.
If you're THAT hung up on performance, you would forget consoles and use a high-end PC. Unless you're doing that exclusively, your posts are just drawing arbitrary lines under your favourite systems (ignorant of the fact that even PC versions have to be scalable, often targeting a level of performance lower than consoles), and saying "THIS is the minimum level", so as to exclude Nintendo fans from the conversation. It's console-warrior, gatekeeping BS, when the games in question are often, if not primarily non-exclusive, and when it's the same principle behind that of Diversity & Inclusion; Nintendo fans/Switch owners are simply asking to be included, and if that offends you, then it says more about you as a person than those asking if they can play, too. Apart from the asinine assumption that pushing graphical capabilities is a priority for all development houses and publishers, the idea that a Switch version would make other versions "less" is one that should be rejected. Looking closer to home, Fire Emblem Warriors can co-exist on Switch and New 3DS. Multiple titles co-exist on the PS4 and Vita, too, and it's not the big deal that some people want it to be. You might see more pores on a face during a cinematic scene, but you're not losing a thing in terms of actual gameplay. Stop this.
