As a PS4 owner I can tell you what it means for me. I have found the perfect companion console!
I'll take better performance over mobility any day of the week. I'll buy the Switch for its exclusives but why would I ever buy something like Battlefield or Read Dead 2 on it when I know they're going to perform better on my PS4? This ultimately is why I think Nintendo is going to struggle with 3rd parties yet AGAIN. Most gamers want to play those titles on consoles that really make them shine. Plus, just wait until Digital Foundry gets a hold of some of the Switch versions...
The dev kit specs are out. It's not difficult to deduce the general performance potential of the console based on that. Based on the dev kits the Switch is slightly less powerful than the X1.

Yeah and what have you been playing for the other 9 months of the year? Please! GTFO with your "Halo, Gears, Forza" rinse and repeat, also-ran console! Which btw I will now be able to play it's games on my PC so no, those aren't exclusives. At least with PS Pro I'd be able to play true exclusive games not found on any other platform.
That's all I want to know too. Will it run current gen games as well as PS4/X1? If the answer is yes, then this is a winner in my book.
Well said.
Scorpio doesn't need more cu. It needs more quality exclusives.
I just hate how the PC mentality has crept it's way into the console space. Who gives a shit? If I cared this much about raw power I'd become a PC gamer. As it stands I don't even have a 4k TV and I don't plan on getting one anytime soon . Tell me how Pro is going to improve A.I. Tell me how it's going to improve game mechanics. Tell me how it's going to improve the UI. Tell me how it's going to improve framerate. Things like that which directly affect the ...
Grow up.
One very critical area that's not being talked about enough, that Nintendo has GOT to get sorted out is their online network infrastructure! If they can't get this right, they might as well pack it up and go home. This is absolutely critical if they are going to gain any trust in the 2016 gamer! They can't be coming at us with slow, clunky interfaces, missing features like voice chat/cross game chat, poor download speeds, poor connections, lack of a sense of "community&q...
I hate remarks like "Nintendo shouldn't make a console that would just be another Xbox1/PS4".
Unless you show me where I can play Mario, Metroid, Zelda, Donkey Kong, Splatoon, Pikmin, Luigi's Mansion. Smash Bros, Mario Kart, Animal Crossing, Yoshi, Kirby, Captain Toad, Fire Emblem, Pokemon, etc, on the PS4 or X1, it WOULDNT be the same console!
Those who think Nintendo needs a hardware gimmick to get noticed are REALLY selling the streng...
Revealing the NX in a Nintendo Direct is a very bad idea in my opinion. The reason being those Direct are only watched by hardcore Nintendo fans so essentially Nintendo is preaching to the choir through those directs. If Nintendo wants to make a big impression with the NX, they need to have a huge live public reveal with tons of hype and excitement that is covered by all of the media outlets. The NX needs to appear on the scene with a huge splash. Not sneak by incognito and then hope the re...
By default. Still, I had to squint to see the difference between the Pro version of Rise of the Tomb Raider and the standard PS4 version.
Damn right it is! Scared the piss out of me!
All the extra horsepower in the world won't fix Xbox's issue of woefully lacking quality exclusive IP's.
Great news!
Not a bit surprised. I've been saying for a while now this game will not live up to expectations. Plus, I just don't like the story/premise at all.
The demo is fun as hell. Also, am I the only one who thinks DQB feels like a Nintendo game? The whole time I've played it I kept thinking this would feel completely at home on a Nintendo console or handheld.
I want a new Luigi's Mansion!
