Nintendo games have more credibility than whatever games that other device is likely to be able to drum up.
So the Switch only has 3 pros for 2017 since that's there's only Zelda, Mario Kart, and Mario Odyssey, right?

What a nonsence, why don't you compare with state-of-the-art notebook chips or APUs in stationare consoles then?I was comparing Vita vs. 2012 state-of-the art to Switch vs. 2017 state-of-the-art.
Сomparing Vita vs. Switch is fine since both have similar form factors, periphery and requirements. Comparing "state-of-the-art" perf for devices with totally different requirements is utterly stupid unless you are trying to figure some characteristics.I wasn't comparing Vita vs. Switch. That would be stupid.
Calculated them by myself, S805's GPU has 128 ALUs and 600 MHz boost frequency for a first few minutes of benchmark, then it dips to ~400 MHz levelsWhere did you find S805's theoretical compute throughput?
A8X built on the same outdated tech process, so what? Wasn't Vita GPU built on the outdated 45nm Samsung tech process? Back then 28nm tech process was already available.No. If it's aTX1 then it uses a 2 year-old chip with an outdated manufacturing process.

Why are you not comparing PS4 Pro hardware with state-of-the-art PC hardware in other threads right now?
The ipad pro 9.7 (which is what I clearly mentioned in my post) has the same power/TDP constraints as the ipad 2. Or maybe it's even more constrained because the former is a substantially thinner device, but we'll leave it at that.iPad Pro doesn't have the same power consumption and TDP constraints as iPad 2.
What device carrying a 28nm chip was available in mass quantities back in November 2011?Wasn't Vita GPU built on the outdated 45nm Samsung tech process? Back then 28nm tech process was already available.
Friendly reminder that this will cost about as much as a Switch in Europe.
It's 8 CUs / 512sp, 32 TMUs and 8 ROP. They claim it's clocked at 800MHz, so that would be 820GFLOPs.It is fairly well established that Maxwell is more efficient than GCN3 (Excavator vs A57 efficiency I have no idea of).
They specifically say 5 hours of gaming. Even if it does half of that on demanding games, it'll simply be matching the Switch.Although an interesting product, when playing intensive games that will have terrible battery life.
I hope you have compared PS4 Pro hardware with something like GP102? So, is it on par with top-notch PC hardware like 1080 and TitanXP? Because if it is not, then PS4 Pro uses outdated hardware by your twisted logicAnd yes, I have compared the PS4 Pro to PC components with similar power consumption levels. Many others have too, in this very forum.
DigitalFoundry didn't call anything "outdated" based on some make-believe arguments and wishful thinkingDigitalFoundry also does such comparisons every time there's a new console. Feel free to think it's nonsense and ignore. No one makes you read it.
Pixel C has the same GPU performance in similar dimensions, does it mean that A9X is weak and outdated? In fact, TX1 is still top tier SoC for graphicsThe ipad pro 9.7 (which is what I clearly mentioned in my post) has the same power/TDP constraints as the ipad 2
7970 was available since January 9 2012, just a couple month laterWhat device carrying a 28nm chip was available in mass quantities back in November 2011?
It clearly was very outdated in comparison with 28nm at the moment, much more so that 20nm in comparison with 16nm nowSo no, 45nm wasn't outdated back then
16 FF isn't the cheapest process ever, in fact, it's exactly the opposite. Nintendo can certainly make a mid life console update with 16 FF components- apple will have had 16FF chips in mass production for a year and a half
No, no one compared a 250W Titan X to a PS4 Pro that pulls 150W from the wall.I hope you have compared PS4 Pro hardware with something like GP102?
That's a progress. Now, please, do the same for Switch and never compare it again with iPad Pro, thanks.No, no one compared a 250W Titan X to a PS4 Pro that pulls 150W from the wall.
This is perfectly understood, every fact is "ridiculous trolling and/or flamebaiting and/or weak strawman attempts" unless it falls under your wishful thinking, exactly what I expected.The rest of your post is just equally ridiculous trolling and/or flamebaiting and/or weak strawman attempts, so good riddance.
Back to price only discussion, thank you.
Can we change the poll to a new one called "How long until the Switch gets a major price reduction when faced with lackluster sales?".
We could start with an option of 3 months and then go all the way to 6 months.
