Yeah, Switch might well expand any PS4 games into a portable marketplace without requiring too serious of downgrades, doubly so if Nintendo does something like ups the RAM to 8 GB before it's actually out, though I suspect that would either be too late or the rumors are wrong/outdated on dev kits.

These "news." #LMAO
And then people have their expectations broken. Of course they do.

You're not looking at worldwide geared software here. The PS4 is doing fairly shitty in Japan. The next Nintendo handheld would be a much safer bet.
The source doesn't make Shit up.
Lol what? If they were already in development for 3ds or pc yes they should stick to 3ds or pc and possibly add another console. Context how does it work?

I said yesterday that I could definitely see the Vita devs porting their games to PS4 moving away from PS4 and going to Switch. I'd guess this is much more likely than any major devs.

I still don't understand why some people are comparing the Wii U to the Switch.

on top of that peeps are expected to just jump from dual-screen to a single screen... >_> IMO, Nintendo should just release a smartphone version of Switch in Japan or something.

That's false because the PS4 is getting better 3rd party support than the vita currently because the vita is dead.

I guess they mean port, makes sense.
The Nintendo Switch will have success, it has a lot going for it, specially the portability aspect and the library output which could be a lot better but is something we have yet to see.

It's a journalist saying what someone told him. Problem is that people like to take this and run away with whatever that want to believe.
Those Vita devs have to go somewhere.

Portable gaming yes.
But not this:
NS isn't successor of 3DS.
What monstrosity is that? LOL
Trailer managed to make it look semi portable.

Why not? Both are Nintendo consoles.
In JP? Maybe Im wrong but as far as I remember Vita has more upcoming, and of course launched, games for japanese gamers than PS4.

Doesn't sound like a major deal breaker really, they play on a single screen with a phone and tablet already.

Do it before the Switch overtakes the entire gaming industry and reduces the PS4 to a mere footnote in history!

Based on tgs announcements and support not really a lot of companies are dropping their vita versions of games and the vita's sales are in the pits anyway.

so, you think Japan is gonna eat Switch up? Going from 3DS, to a 'smartphone-like' portable console that's nothing like a smartphone, and bigger than a smartphone, and more expensive than the 3DS...? >_>
just comparing Switch to 3DS you are losing features, but paying more... No dual-screen, no 3D. Mess.

I am watching worldwide, of course. I know the PS4 isn't doing great in Japan, but it's doing better than the Wii U... even though it launched a year after!
It must be some VITA ports, obviously. The VITA is doing OK in Japan but not that great, would not be a bad idea to port games on the Switch, yeah.

Yes in JP. What many fail to realise is that JP companies look at the global market as well, even the niche ones.

but that's phone and tablet, they play games as an aside. Switch is a gaming console foremost...
This is most likely the case, tweet is worded badly.
For the dev kit. We don't know what the final unit might reach, but if it's even close to 3DS there's no way it won't be the #1 platform in Japan.

When was 3D a huge incentive?

I haven't seen anything on the Switch to suggest that it could run most current gen games just fine. Even if the developer is just porting games, those games won't be high end PS4 games.
They'll be games like Persona 5, Digimon World and Tales of Berseria.

They're still gaming on a single screen, it won't be some alien concept just a change. I mean 3DS were ported over to old so it won't be too much of transitio if Nintendo wanted it anyway.
