Zelda's a poor port, every game between now and Mario Odyssey is a rerelease or a sequel that might as well be a rerelease (Splatoon 2), and Mario Odyssey may be slated for "Holiday 2017" but Nintendo hasn't been the best with releasing titles in a timely manner lately, definitely not striking the iron while it's hot

2017-04-05 17:42:08 UTC  

Alsong with that, the Xbox has something that Nintendo is severely lacking: Good, major third party support.

2017-04-05 17:43:53 UTC  

Every big game recently had been turned down in regards to the Switch. FFXV isn't showing up, From has only tested Dark Souls on Switch with no guarantee of it popping up on there, RDR2 isn't showing up, Persona 5 is remaining a Sony exclusive, and everything else that you can think of is simply a "no"

2017-04-05 17:44:38 UTC  

The biggest title they have going for it is Skyrim, and you know when you're relying on *Skyrim* of all games for third party supprt in 2017, you're fucked

2017-04-05 17:46:41 UTC  

And lastly, most common people will not enjoy the Switch's gimmick, especially not the third party type gamers, people that would be dragged in by other games such as RDR2 or CoD or Overwatch. The way it's set up as a "hybrid" right now makes it look like a simple plug-n-play console more than a serious competitor.

2017-04-05 17:47:42 UTC  

So in short, no, Microsoft's only concern is being able to compete with Sony's lineup of fantastic upcoming exclusive titles and appealing to more than just the generic shooter game demographic

i dont think the switch has much going for it at all to be honest

2017-04-05 18:10:54 UTC  

its like a glorified wii

2017-04-05 18:11:17 UTC  

nintendo just doesnt make good consoles

2017-04-05 18:11:46 UTC  

and this new xbox scorpio is supposed to be like the ultimate console

2017-04-05 18:12:15 UTC  

its going to be twice as powerful as the ps4 pro 2 or whatever it going to be called

2017-04-05 18:12:23 UTC  

and like 6 or 7 times than the switch

2017-04-05 18:12:32 UTC  

i cant wait to get it

2017-04-05 18:16:03 UTC  

It quite literally is a glorified Wii in all honesty

2017-04-05 18:16:34 UTC  

Also the games are as small as Vita cases I believe, or PSP, and those don't sit nicely on a shelf next to all your other games

2017-04-05 18:17:00 UTC  

even 3DS/DS games do because they're at least as wide as a normal PS3 or Xbox case

2017-04-05 18:18:26 UTC  

But that is unfortunately not the case for Switch cases, so unless you're always digital or prefer it, you're likely going to be less inclined to buy the Switch version of a game unless there's a lot of convincing reasons to do so

2017-04-05 18:31:13 UTC  

I dunno about you guys, i'm enjoying Zelda on my switch

2017-04-05 18:42:34 UTC  

And that's it

2017-04-05 18:48:26 UTC  

woot kirk, the price will be powerful two, and with no exclusive to back it up, you're better off with a PC as there's much, much, much more games

2017-04-05 18:48:41 UTC

2017-04-05 18:48:56 UTC  

but welp, that's your money ^^"

2017-04-05 18:49:36 UTC  

twice as powerful as the ps4 pro?

2017-04-05 18:49:41 UTC  

where are you getting these stats from

2017-04-05 18:49:43 UTC  

they're just wrong

2017-04-05 18:50:32 UTC  

4TFLOPS vs 6TFLOPS

2017-04-05 18:50:35 UTC  

but welp

2017-04-05 18:50:45 UTC  

4 * 2 = 6 man

2017-04-05 18:51:17 UTC  

you can't be a cook and a rocket scientist

2017-04-05 18:51:37 UTC  

kirk tries to make double the food with only 1 and a half times the ingredients

2017-04-05 18:51:43 UTC  

that's wizardry level of math right here, you have to excuse him

2017-04-05 18:54:17 UTC  

it's funny cuz the Scorpio is supposed to be all native 4k, 30fps games with physics calculated every N frames to avoid drop issues

2017-04-05 18:54:51 UTC  

if they sell that shit for over 500 bucks, you're better off with a PC

2017-04-05 18:54:59 UTC  

It's quite possible the tables could turn with Scorpio.
According to a survey that was taken, everyone flocked to the PS4 because of the lower price and higher power. Then devs also jumped on because of the player base and higher power.
-
Things have changed for Xbox;
Now there's backwards compatibility and new management that's focused on core gaming instead of VR. And on the way is more power for devs for their core games and taking a shot at native 4K with true HDR.
The PS4 Pro is a half step with scaled 4K and filtered HDR.

2017-04-05 18:55:41 UTC  

"Native 4K"

2017-04-05 18:55:46 UTC  

"Native"

2017-04-05 18:55:48 UTC  

yup @Tech Talk, there's some people that are going to buy the Scorpio for that

2017-04-05 18:55:50 UTC  

Native 4k at 2fps powerpoint

2017-04-05 18:55:52 UTC
