@MonsieurX: I said in the same league of power . It's apparent u don't know about arm technology let alone tetra x1/ x2. Tetra x1 is nearly half the power of current gen consoles and that was in maxwell architecture. Switch uses custom tegra which will be more near to the power of x2 since x2 uses pascal. So get rid of ur myths about a portable not powerful enough which was the whole point of my post. Arm is actually becoming cheaper , the shield tablet with k1 is 200 dollars which was a year ago . So u can expect switch with custom tegra to be 300 dollars

Guys , im going to try resolve some misconceptions on the comments in this thread . I'm no expert but I would like to share what I know .

1.Arm vs x86 : Arm is actually more efficient and slightly more powerful than the x86. This is because of the difference in the process of computing a instruction by these two architectures . Arm does this process better than the x86 . So don't think arm is inferior to x86 as it is used in mobile . Arm is actually better especially for switch because not only u need power but also efficiency to be able to run on a battery .

2.maxwell vs pascal : Pascal is much better because it's able to compute a larger set of instructions at a given time than maxwell . Pascal also resembles high end pc graphic cards which means ports are more easier .

3.power of switch : Relax , switch is going to be in the same league as of ps4 and xbox one . Consoles are not much dependent on power even in the same generation but a console needs to be in the same league of power with competing consoles of the same generations and it need not be the most powerful in order to be successful. Ps2 was weaker than the game cube and xbox but it was in the same league so ports aren't difficult . But the Wii u was not in the same league as with ps4 and xbox one which was the major reason for its failure .

As with switch , it uses a custom tegra which will be at least around the power of x1 (albeit it ll be more powerful) and it uses pascal. Which implies switch will provide about 1 teraflops of power . Which is less than xbox one but it uses arm so its actually much closer to xbox one than you think . So porting is not much difficult. If it sells well , 3rd parties are in .

4.3rd part support : They want in , trust me because games are becoming more and more expensive to produce and mobile is one of the most profitable sectors . They would in the near future when mobile technology gets power to compare with consoles port games to mobile to get more money even though it means to water down a little bit . So 3rd parties would experiment their mobile ambitions' with the switch . Also as mentioned earlier with the switch being in the same league as the two consoles , they will port their games to switch .

4.switch's major selling point : It's not being able to run ps4/xbox one games but being able to run these games on the go. I don't know whether there is enough audience to justify this but that will be the major selling point for the switch along with nintendos first party games which can be played only on the switch. Also , it is technically nintendos next handheld so it will get all the jrpgs , Pokémon , fire emblem , monster hunter etc of the 3ds. So 3ds users will ugrade to switch as they did from ds to 3ds.

With that said , i think nintendo switch will carve a niche and significant market share compared to ps4 / xbox one. Thank you for reading and sorry English isn't my 1st language so bear with me.
