Switch CPU is faster (foxconn leak that was proven true friday) so that shouldn't happen.
Which leak? And how was it proven true? (not being mean, honestly curious)

I hope new ps4 games will not get compromissed because of the need for Switch porting.

Can't blame people for not knowing how development goes for niche Japanese developers.I thought people would've been happy instead of fighting about whose system is pulling down whose...
DQH doesn't seem to suggest a close proximity between the two consoles ...
Switch is generations stronger than Vita, let's atleast say that.
Switch to PS4 upports are a much more positive scenario than the current Vita to PS4 ports in which the games are semi compromised in design decisions to have both platforms run decently and as we've seen recently with games like Nights of Azure, even those compromises don't stop Vita from running the game like crap
NIS games would run on a PS2 if they wanted.I hope new ps4 games will not get compromissed because of the need for Switch porting.
"We can't ignore that home consoles are dead in Japan."
Consoles are not dead in Japan, the market has shrunk that;s it.
Um when was that proven? Source?

Yeah, that's expected behaviour for a generational transition. PSP and DS had way more games in the pipeline than Vita or 3DS at the time of launch. Publishers are making the trade-off between risk taking on a new install base, which pays off in the long term, and being able to sustain their business with established install bases.

The Japanese market is gone to smartphones, it's not coming back.

This is the best part. Now that switch has an 'ideal' form factor for many Japanese audiences, there are a good amount of devs that can invest in higher budget 'core gaming', now that mobile technology in Switch has gotten to a point where it can actually support AA/AAA gaming.
So ideally for multiplats, any old dev would lead on Switch, and upport to PS4 adding more graphical bells and whistles similar to Vita to PS4 upports right now, but far less compromised by weak hardware like Vita has.
Sony and Nintendo together, if they do it right can hold up dedicated core gaming for Japan.
Although i do have to raise an eyebrow with your statement that 1ghz A57's which can't be used in anything beyond a quad configuration during actual utilization is stronger than 7 1.6ghz jaguar cores.

I'd say this rumor is far more believable than the Eurogamer one simply because of all the above confirmed info. There is simply no way this person didn't see the device at foxconn and the location he originally posted from was foxconn, so it is all but accepted at this point.
In no way are Switch and PS4 comparable in terms of specs. Don't get suckered into that reasoning, for your own good.
Yes - Switch and PS4 and not "these games could all run on tablets" - why is Switch the emperors clothes ? It's a mid level tablet with a controller and hdmi out .... like xx other devices so we are down to "do you want ninthing stuff?"

I don't know how i can verify your source or the leak in question, but i think Richard was not lying with his information considering we have gotten far more leaks from DF about these things.
No one's saying they're similar in specs, but what we're saying is that, to use a poor analogy, both use gasoline engines instead of nintendo using steam and the vita using diesel.
You can make one, but I'd personally rather wait until someone does a teardown and we find out for sure.No, Z0mbie is implicitly saying that some leaks are saying the CPU of the console in the switch is stronger than the Jaguar of either PS4 or the Pro.
That's a big deal. Why have there not been any threads about this speculation/rumor? We need to figure this out
Just FF XV (and maybe Kingdom Hearts 2.8 and 3) are the only AAA japanese game which I can't see in Switch. Japanese devs don't need a lot of power, so Switch multiplat games shared with PS4 won't be very bad.

The conversion is much simpler but PS4 is a sports car and Switch is a Smart car.

I know nothing of the statistics but, nothing about that sentence sounds good.Yep. The PS4 is selling about as well as the Vita did in Japan.
Eurogamer's leak is not really sourced. There is nothing backing it up but their reputation, and they even state that they sat on the info for months, while we heard just before that that the final devkits were more powerful than july dev kits.
Foxconn rumor from december actually was proven true on friday when Nintendo revealed the Switch fully.
The foxconn rumor here: https://www.reddit.com/r/NintendoSw...r_someone_who_producing_switch_at_foxconn_is/
- leaks that the shoulder buttons on the joycons are called SL and SR. Which is confirmed and can be seen in pictures and video of the device.
-leak also says that the device will be bundled with an "orange" and blue joycon, which was confirmed friday with the neon bundle. (his assumption was that it was a splatoon bundle)
-leak also says the battery capacity is 4310mah, which is pretty much impossible to guess, and was confirmed friday.
-leak confirmed 4GB
-leak confirmed 1600mhz ram
-leak confirmed no fan in dock
-leak confirmed USB-C and all ports of the dock correctly (including those hidden by the back panel)
-leaked the very complex joycons.
Says the CPU is clocked at 1.78ghz and assumes it is A73 (it could also be A72, but wouldn't be A57 because power draw would be too high) (this also makes sense because the 20nm A57 4 core @ 1ghz consumes the same power as A72 at 1.7ghz.
Says the GPU is 921mhz instead of Eurogamer's 768ghz.
Nate was saying pascal, and it looks like it is 16nm SoC.

Yeah, I'm sure the Switch is going to be the bastion of niche games just like the Vita is. Which is why NIS didn't announce a Switch version of Exile Election even though they clearly have a devkit.
Yep. The PS4 is selling about as well as the Vita did in Japan.
Odd that Splatoon 2 was demoed at 720p and that Zelda was 900p with semi-sustained slowdown at spots.
Unless Nintendo has some incredible software issues porting Wii U games over to the Switch
Yep. The PS4 is selling about as well as the Vita did in Japan.
Vita sold about 1/4th what the PSP did though, and PS4 is still less than half PS3's sales. Consoles are pretty much dead over there, the entire market could be, even Switch might not sell near PSP or 3DS there, it's pretty dire IMO.

PS4 is outselling PS3 both from a hardware and software sales perspective. I would say that is very good news
PS4's sales are very strong considering PS3 is about 10 mil in 10 years, PS4 is about 4 million in 2 years(PS4 launched in feb 2014 in Japan)
People keep saying that only handhelds, Vita included, are alive in Japan.
The PS4 is selling just as well as the Vita did this far into its life and it's not a handheld. The story's not matching up. And if you're a niche fan then you know the Vita got a ton of appealing games which, unsurprisingly, the PS4 is getting too.
So no, there's something good about that sentence.
See above.
We know the clocks in the leak are bullshit along with the screen resolution, so as Emily Rogers would say, saying the leak is confirmed is stretching it a tiny bit.Foxconn Leak
The battery capacity is exactly the same. And the weight is very close, 302g+100g(measure by himself) vs 297g+101g.
There's a lot of mistranslation in the post. Other parts of the leak should be taken seriously.

Vita is a failure even in japan. It didnt sell anywhere near PSP. Saying that PS4 sold just as well as Vita is not reassuring. It just recently outsold WiiU LTD despite WiiU being pretty much dead for about a year. Also PS4 failed to sell software. There is not even one million seller on Ps4. Not even FF, a surefire millionseller, could reach that number. Now PS4 is in a good situation still because there is no competition in the market but its not an incredible success at least in japan so far.People keep saying that only handhelds, Vita included, are alive in Japan.

E.G.leakHow do we know that? When we know factually that he got every other leaked detail (that wasn't an assumption) right?
This feels off topic now, I'm leaving the thread, thought I'd bring an interesting tidbit about the foxconn rumor being right. You guys have fun.
