@foxhound_fox: To be honest, on paper it looks that way but iPhone generally perform better than the Galaxy in my experience. I only got the S7 Edge over the iPhone 7 is because of the head jack and limited storage. Also fast charging and aesthetics.

Seems to me like a shady marketing tech naming them so. IMO the 8 is really the 7S because it didn't change much with the X being the real 8 (tho with a last gen chip). Apple just changed the name so they could charge a premium for both.

What do you think? Will you get one of either? I might go for the X because I'm stupid when it comes to having the latest stuff. Currently using a Galaxy S7 Edge...

Where do you get your multiplats? (If you don't own all, which would you get if you had a choice?)

Switch

+ Portable on the go

+ On a much cooler cart versus disc

- Low Res, mostly 30fps, no Achievements

- Terrible online

- No game DVR

Xbox One/PS4

+ Mainstream platform/biggest online community

+ Remote play on Vita with PS4, Cross buy with windows on Xbox with selected titles

- Online paywall, Normal Resolution, toss up of 30/60 fps depending on game

PC

+ 4K, 60fps and beyond

+ Free online

- A lot of clients such of Origin, Steam, GOG etc. Not unified

- Generally only available as digital, DRM

@metalboi: Nintendo live in the past. Old IPs keep them alive while the new ones are there as mid tier exclusives. Sony will bring you the new with the old like Horizon and Detroit. PS is the mother load of console exclusives and variety. Don't like Uncharted? They have Persona. Don't like Persona? Horizon, Spider-man Last of Us, GT, God of War, TLG, Until Dawn, Yakuza, etc. Not to mention it gets 99 percent of the 3rd party stuff.

4K is not only the future but the present. I game on 4K daily and only accept less if there is no other way.

@metalboi: Nope. Less than 4x times(or more depending if it is docked or not) the resolution and sub par frame rates equals a sub par port. Portability doesn't mean jack if it doesn't perform. Tons of handheld console title on portable like Ninja Gaiden 2 Sigma, Smash Bros, Mortal Kombat 9 on Vita and those certainly aren't the definitive version.

Hard to even consider Switch portable as it is too big and it only last 2 hours on battery anyway.

Plus, Xbox One and PS4 year 1 number are much higher than Switch. LMAO

@metalboi: Not only external HDD are much cheaper, they are available in MUCH larger capacity. Hence why Switch bigger issues include memory storage. This wouldn't be a problem if games didn't required partial installation for some titles. The fact that early year 1 titles doing this does not bold well for the future as games will be bigger.

Cartridges are getting cheaper as we speak, and it's only a few titles that require the install. Cartridges are much tougher, faster and more convenient than discs ever will be. I'd say the future does not bode well for discs.

It doesn't which is why digital content is rising. HDD are ever growing in capacity so this is a non issue on all platforms outside of the Switch. We now have 20TB HDD and it is quickly getting bigger. SD card aren't growing fast enough and that leaves Switch as a console with a major fault. Not only that, carts are cheaper but it still cost way too much.

LA Noire is $10 more on Switch than any other platform. That is laughable as it will likely look and perform the worst.

128GB cards for $40 is expensive as hell.

@metalboi: Switch does if you want full content like in NBA2K and Doom even if you bought the game cart. Shame Nintendo got cheap.

I never defended Vita. However the memory issue was better than Switch if you went physical which I general go for when the platform uses cart instead of disc.

Switch's cards are not proprietary, they're cheap, and they take only a few seconds to change. Don't really see what the problem is here.

Not cheap at all. A 200GB SD card is like $80. Sure it's cheaper than Vita but then again memory was also a serious issue on it. That's like saying Burger King is healthier than McDonalds.... Not sure why you brought up the Vita at all since memory is a known issue on it.

Xbox One and PS4 can use external HDDs and guess what? 2TB is commonly $45-50. Since Switch is a portable device it won't be able to utilize an external HDD. Not in the portable form anyway.
