Is the Switch the most powerful tablet yet?

Most Android tablets are leagues better than the Switch. The only downside being they use AndroidOS.

>>377305103
The downside being that Android tablets don't have good games. Doesn't matter if they are more powerful if their games are all terrible and only work with touchscreen controls. Find me one game on Android or iOS that comes close to being a real, fully featured game.

>>377305824
>B-but muh games

The question is about power.
Besides you're obviously biased

>>377306241
Power in service of nothing at all is pretty stupid.

And if you can't tell OP is memeing you're retarded. No bias here, I don't even own a switch.

>>377306359
>Power in service of nothing at all is pretty stupid

And good games without a user base won't thrive. When the Switch can sell kids on normies games and Hulu, it'll become a powerhouse. Until then it will never sustain it's numbers over time.

Manchildren will only carry it so far before they pull out the Cheeto bag and stop for a rest.

>>377304937
The what? Did you say Shitch?

>>377304937

Literally has a weaker GPU than a 80$ Walmart tablet. The Switch a colossal waste of money, basically the Ouya 2. You're a fucking moron if you bought one, you're basically just screaming, "Hurr durr I'll pay anything to play Mario ports!".

>>377306859
>80$ Walmart tablet

Name one.

>>377305824
DOSbox has plenty of good games that I've enjoyed for decades.

>>377304937
no, it's weaker than the nvidia tablet released 3 years ago,.

>>377305824
Mario Run

>>377305824
>Lets compare specs
>LETS COMPARE GAMES!1!!!

Autistic defensive faggots like this are why no discussion can exist.

>>377307694
Doesn't it contain the same Tegra?

>>377308229
Does it matter when FIFA, BF1, COD, and GTAV are the only games that really sell consoles?

>>377308510
I was just replying to the argument that it has weaker hardware than the Nvidia Shield tablet, which shouldn't be true if they both contain the same Tegra.

>>377308884
Doesn't matter if it's going to fail. X1 or not, it needs the normies for it to do anything of note.

>>377306924

>>377308884
Not just that but the Switch has the latest Tegra chipset whereas the Shield Tablet uses an older K1.

>>377309303
You have to spoon-feed the retards, otherwise they'll choke on their own spit and you might be tried as negligent.

Mario will never see the kind of sales numbers as third party games these days, as it did in it's prime. Candy Crush included, it's why Mario Run exists in the first place.

This.

While many Android tablets are technically more powerful, the Android OS itself is terribly inefficient meaning that a large chunk of the power is essentially "lost"

>>377309624
But can it run GTA Online?

>>377306859
>Literally has a weaker GPU than a 80$ Walmart tablet.

Here's a $599 tablet by Google that has the same Tegra as the Switch.

>>377309824
Wait for E3 ;)

>>377309890
I've never watched an E3. Nintendo won't change my mind

>>377305824
>hurr is switch most powerful tabbie evar?
>"it's not. android tablets have better specs."
>p-powah don't matter cuz andy has no gaems!
and you wonder why people on /v/ hate nintendo fanboys.

>>377304937
No its on par with the shield TV and Pixel C that use the same Tegra X1.

>>377305824
Those goalposts are miles away OP mentioned specs software is irrelevant in that discussion.

>>377304937
>720p port of a Wii U game

Really? What decade does Nintendo think we're in?

Also wasn't the Wii U original literally a higher resolution than this? Good job making a new console weaker than your last one Nintendo.,,

>>377310164
>shield TV and Pixel C
Shield TV isn't a tablet and the Pixel C costs £200 more than a Switch but you're right about the specs.

>>377310315
Mario Kart 8 is 1080p on the Switch and 720p in portable mode for power saving.

>>377310498
Nice try shill. OPs screenshot is 720p.

Don't try and claim it's the Wii U version either as it has the two item slots.

>>377310585
No, it's 720p in tablet mode because that's the max res of the tablet

>>377310623
probably because he took a screenshot of the tablet?

This is basic info, you can look it up. It runs at 60fps 1080p on docked mode.

>>377310585
>>377310636
it's kinda both honestly
the reason why it's a 720p is that most normies won't notice a difference anyway
and it'd be hard for the console to push games at that res

lower res = better battery is also true

>>377310623
it does run in the dock at 1080p tho, you can look it up

>>377310623
>>377310636
I own a Vita at 500p and it looks decent but I'm okay with 720p. Sure it won't sell like everyone else says it will but I'm excited to see where it goes.

I've never played a Metroid game.

>>377310832
it's not both, what.

It runs in 720 in tablet mode because that is the maximum resolution of the screen itself.

>>377309303

Stop being a liar in future you faggot

>>377310907
I meant
>the reason why it's a 720p is that most normies won't notice a difference anyway
for the screen, not the games

>>377305103
>Most Android tablets are leagues better than the Switch.

yeah too bad they're running android ffs lol kek

>>377305824
I just wish the Switch had any games

I wonder, where does nintendo go from here? Was the switch a once in a lifetime device or has Nintendo effectively invented a new form factor?

>>377305824
FTL is great on ipad

>>377311271
All depends on how it sells. Right now, Switch looks to be the end of the 3DS and Wii U.

After owning one I can say I can't believe they're the first to do this

>>377311271
I just hope they release a home console one which is just the tablets internals in a box with a pro controller bundled with it instead, no tablet bullshit anymore

>>377311473
Other way around is much more likely.

Smaller screen with the joycons permanently attached

>>377311473
that sounds like a stupid idea

>>377311534
For what purpose

>>377311550
Did I ask for your wrong opinion

>>377311617
Corner the handheld market even more and allows them to cut down costs

>>377310719
Oh. Well resolution doesn't matter that much anyway when it comes to a game that looks this bad. It's easy to make a turd run at 1080p.

It's still a shit game running on a shit tablet regardless.

>>377311271
Nintendo seemed to be gungho on ARM's viability since the GBA. Literally the only thing stopping them is if ARM development hits a standstill or x86 CPUs magically becomes more energy efficient than mobile somehow.

>>377311668
They can cut even more costs if they go with the home console idea, reducing even more costs like the battery and screen

>>377311764
This post is so bad I'm going to assume you're a falseflagger trying to make the original guy look worse

Picrelated. Also, emulators + using it as a workstation.
disclaimer: I don't agree with placing some of the games on this image list

Pixel C and iPad Pro are the only thing comparable but they cost double the switch.

So Nintendo won or lose depends on how you look at it.

They should be charging WAY MORE than 300$.

>>377311473
I could see this

>>377311797
If they release it as a standalone home console, nobody would buy it unless it was stronger

>>377311852
>tfw FTL will never be on smartphones

>>377311969
A new Space Rangers game is coming out soon for Android, so there's a suitable replacement.
Let's just hope the devs won't fuck it up.

>>377311924
The people who buy Nintendo consoles for their specs are so in the minority I don't even know why you mentioned it

For all the silly people saying that there are more powerful tablets out there. Name another Tegra X1 powered tablet and it's price. You win if it's about $150 more expensive than the Switch at retail price.

>>377311473
I'd buy a Nintendo Stuck ngl

>>377312151
the people who buy an Nintendo handheld for home play are so in the minority I don't even know why you mentioned it

>>377312240
Because the Switch can be a home console?

Thats what he just said retard.

Great arguments, I thought people including myself bought Nintendo for the games instead of the performance

>>377304937
Pffft. No. It's barely mid-tier.

It's impressive tech but nothing revolutionary. You can have PS3 and above quality tablets right now.

Problem is games and android.

Really makes me wonder why there isn't a performance oriented Linux distro for phones .

>>377309610
you know, in the time it took you to conceive of this little scenario you could have just googled '$80 walmart tablet' and been done with it, but oh no you had to be a big shot.

>>377312470
Why are you being so autistic and replying to every single person who disagrees with your post?

If Nintendo did it would you start making threads like OMG NINTENDO STOLE MY IDEA CAN I SUE

>>377309824
Yes it can, it's the first tablet with 16 gigs of DDR4 and 8 GB of VRAM and a 4 GHZ quad core processor. You can play GTA Online at 1280x800 on this 7" screen, it's tight son.

>>377312346
He said for battery.

The other guy said because the physical screen is 720

>>377312554
Because all those posts had no argument? I'd reply to one that actually has an argument separately

If Nintendo did it I'd be throwing my money at them, that's why I'm sharing the idea

>>377312730
Are you new to this site?

You really think replying to shitposters makes you look good or will change anything?

>>377312513
>performance oriented
>linux

i'd say you just answered your own question right there

>>377312419
What tablet are you talking about anon? And what's it's price?

Wait what android tablet has a beefier GPU than the X1?

>>377312798
No, and no but maybe there will be a legit argument that would turn my views around and actually make me want the handheld hybrid instead of my home console version, but I also like hearing from other anons that they agree with my idea

Since we're sidetracking from the main issue of a home console version of the Switch, don't expect another reply unless it's on topic

Something along the lines of Cube Mix Plus, I guess. Comparable specs, x86 architecture.

>>377312521
Cmon dude, the burden of proof is on the one making the claims. Be reasonable

>>377304937
It is the tablet with best graphical API support.
For now, its the only device with vulkan tier games, but later the others will ketchup to it.

That thing has a Intel i7 which is different.

Yes, and? I don't disagree that Tegra is more suitable for gaming purposes, but, honestly, buying a >300$ device to use it solely for proprietary-locked games seems like a waste.

>>377312626
Sounds like an amazing tablet for only the price of a small sedan.

>>377313959
You will RESPECT the visual land prestige tablet, it is a finely crafted piece of high end tech only for those with discriminating taste.

>>377314286
I can't believed i WASTED $300 when there was a perfectly fine 80 dollar equivalent !!!

>>377304937
It is a nintendo portable device that outputs a resolution bigger than a CRT screen.
Just let that sink in for a moment.

>>377304937

It's a hybrid console with a tablet as a controller. The Switch isn't marketed nor advertised as a tablet. Get your terminologies right you dense mongoloid

>>377314185
I respect your opinion but I disagree with it. I think that a Tegra X1 powered tablet with multiplayer out of the box, that you can effortless switch between portable and TV mode and will have Nintendo games (since they will merge portable and homeconsole development in one system) is a deal at $300.
