Sure let's go with that. It still makes it more powerful than the wiiU.
Yes, but games will still look like they belong to the same gen as Wii U.

You literally keep posting links back to Nintendo of AMERICA's websites.It does in the link dude?
Here's first look page:
Then on the actual video page
literally says "First look at Nintendo's New home gaming System".
Monster hunter is going to look great!
True, but memory bandwidth wise the Wii U at least had eDRAM to keep the GPU efficiently fed (32 MB scratchpad for a console that was not afraid to target 720p without massive attribute buffers).
So the switch isn't even stronger than a Vita?
Can't wait to see those 3rd party ports...

It's around Saturn level

They aren't "making the same mistakes again".It really does hurt to see them make the same exact mistake time and time again.
Really?Lol Nintendo.
(That would be 153 GPU GFlops in portable mode)
Wtf is wrong with y'all. 199 is where this needs to be! This is great news. I think it needs to even be lower, honestly. A portable Wii U isn't so bad and this is probably more modern than that.
Yeah, but history should tell us that Nintendo was going to weak-out and that inevitably means shit AAA third party support.RIP third party support. Crazy how Nintendo never seem to learn.
1. The 150 number isn't confirmed (I don't think the 176 gflops for wiiu was either).
2. Old AMD architecture vs modern Nvidia architecture.
At launch, those consoles were more expensive. The Switch isn't in its third year here.
There's no way it's less than $300.
Oh neat, it's exactly what I said. They'll market it as a home console where those are prevalent and portable elsewhere.All their western website calls it a "home gaming system". French one calls it a "console de salon".

Only the japanese site though calls their their new gaming console.

I'd like to point all you guys out to that one thread were I called it that the Switch would be no more powerful than a Wii U and was literally assaulted by nay-sayers.

And the that one thread where I reposted the above and was again assaulted by the Nintendo Defense Force:

So where are you now, OrbitalBeard, Mariolee, Doctre81, KingSnake, Seik, bomblord1, Art, EDarkness, etc..??
But perhaps the biggest takeaway from this is that those hoping for Switch to bring Nintendo back into contention with Microsoft and Sony's hardware should temper expectations.

Well...because many of us don't give a single fuck about mobile gaming. The real question is why do so many seem to believe they can deflect console expectations, criticisms and disappointments with mobile stats, as if mobile and consoles are the same thing, bought by the same audiences for the same purpose.
I'm sure this won't surprise you, but many of us are grown ass adults that drive to work and don't have enough interest (or opportunity) to game while mobile anymore. We work at work and game at home where we have full access to a TV/monitor which can give us a superior experience to the often hand-cramping, poor resolution experience that typifies mobile gaming (at least on Nintendo and Sony handhelds). Mobile was good shit K-12 and through part of college, but that was the end of that for me. Maybe if I lived in a subway city, I'd still have use for mobile gaming, but I don't.
So yea, for those of us who only play at home on a proper console, Nintendo hasn't offered a platform with good 3rd party support since the SNES. It is what it is. No need to attempt to spin that reality; I've been playing on Nintendo platforms longer than half this forum has been alive. I know what time it is.
They are just asking for angry comments with this though.This was know since the beginning

Try this instead:

And yet Mario will run at 60fps locked and will look better than many many PS4 games.
Honestly, who's even buying Nintendo these days for cutting edge graphics? You buy it because it's going to be the only place to play Nintendo first party games.
So you agree with my original statement. They'll market it as a handheld where it makes sense and as a console where that makes sense.Yea thats japans like Ghost trick just posted. The rest of the world is the other.
Honestly this thing will probably sell very well, in part because it will likely be trading on the success of Nintendo's handheld platforms as well. And if it does well, the 3rd parties will come on board.
But Nintendo gonna Nintendo, so please don't be surprised to see $299/$349 as the launch price. That would give them room to walk the price back should they need to, and in the short term reap those profits from the Nintendo faithful and new tech early adopters. Don't kid yourselves, folks. This is a $300 product all day long. They could even go higher at first.
Learn voodoo magic and put an Xbox One/PS4 specced machine inside a handheld ?
Ok but wtf is this then?

They did learn voodoo magic though: they made a console weaker than a similar product, that is two years old, and made by the same manufacturer who is supplying parts to them.
