Console Specs Compared: Xbox One X, PS4 Pro, Switch, And More

Thinking the Switch is a competitor to X1/PS4 is infuriating. That's like comparing the Chevy Corvette to a Chevy Malibu. Both cars do well what they set out to do.

If the Switch were to be as powerful as X1/PS4, it couldn't be mobile. A non-mobile Nintendo product would be lost in a sea of X1s, PS4s, and PCs.

I'm so sick and tired of people failing to grasp that absurdly simple concept.

It's kinda unfair to directly compare the Switch's power to a bunch of dedicated home consoles when we all know it's really a portable; it was never gonna match those other systems in terms of power. Ultimately though, it's still the one of most powerful dedicated handheld gaming devices we've ever seen.

I think the Switch game lineup may be actually pretty good. I explain why in my video if you're interested in checking it out!

Hmm, According to the list, the Nintendo Switch released March 3rd, 2016! Strange as I've yet to see them in the wild. LOL!

I was at Costco yesterday and they had an Acer Predator desktop with an i7- 6700, 32ddr4, a 256 ssd, a 1tb 7200, and a freaking 8gb gtx 1070 for $1000. It boots in about 6 seconds. I'm curioous where the scorpio will land price wise, but I think I'm good for a few years.

ROFLMAO! Some people need to think for a second or two. The Nintendo Switch is 100% the replacement for the WiiU, granted. It's also the next generation Nintendo handheld. There are more 3DS family handheld devices sold than the other consoles currently on the market, with the obvious caveat that they have been on the market longer, and they are also a niche device. However how many Xbox & PlayStation games sell as well as Pokémon games do? Sun & Moon recently hit over 4.5m copies sold, and Nintendo sold 7.3m copies of first party games in the last quarter of 2017 on the 3DS. The PS4 is jut over 50m units sold, and the 3DS exceeded that in 2015, with the 3DS sales obviously tapering off at this point, the newest copy of Pokémon was also the fastest to reach over 4m units sold.

Granted the Switch won't kill the 3DS right away, like it is the WiiU, it will be more akin to the way the XBone and the PS4 are killing off their predecessors, but the point remains that Nintendo won't be able to keep the Switch and the 3DS from competing against one another. With the increased graphical power, and ability to play on your living room TV, the Switch will eventually kill off the 3DS. All Nintendo has to do this year is release a Zelda, Mario, and Pokémon game for the Switch and everyone will be buying it up like it's candy at the dollar store, and one of those is a launch title, with the second one coming this summer, and the third rumored to be in the works as well. Add into that the upgraded Mario Kart 8, Splatoon 2, and the impending Metroid and Smash Bros. games that will probably be announced at e3, and you have Nintendo coming back strong, and proving that graphics aren't as important to gamers as good solid games are.

Looking forward to the Switch, think it'll be interesting, so we'll see. Otherwise, I can't believe Xbox is moving onto a new console already! Never heard about it. Hate to sound old (I'm 28 lol) but I'm just getting settled into appreciating my PS4 and I got it close to launch. Sometimes I feel the gaming industry moves a little too fast. Maybe that's just the technological age at work! =p

I'm pretty excited about this. I just hope you can exchange the battery and put in a spare, but I guess charging via cable will do. :(

They've just built a console with tablet components? I know tablets have become pretty powerful, especially with some of Nvidia's advances in mobile chips, but in competition with full fledged consoles? Yeah...

Fix the xbox one S. It does not support the Kinect without an adapter. Which is hard to even find nowaday. It's basically just a USB adapter because it makes it so you can connect the kinect to a PC. But the Xbox One S does not actually have a Kinect Port.

well nintendo didn't reveal the full spec. but once release someone or nintendo will probably reveal it.

Bad information on the Xbox storage. It is expandable, and the article states it is not. You can plug in USB 3.0 drives for virtually unlimited storage.

Nice clickbait article without any actual new information or linked sources. Waste of my time.

Let's fix the date for the switch on that there chart. Should be released already considering the information here.

Really though....the switch doesn't hold a chance competing against the likes of playstation/Xbox. Especially with its underpowered hardware and gimmicky setup and or features.

Know what I'm doing with my gaming time...? Taking my MONSTER computer and putting it in my living room. Making it the gaming beast of the living room once again. That is why I buy my gaming equipment.....to game on. Not to make claims of its capabilities. Especially when that system has practically zero games and is launching in less than two months. Not to mention a brand new online ecosystem that is going to take years to perfect.

I'm don't being a fully invested beta player. For both the games and the companies ideals. I will happily sit back and watch the dust settle over this one. If there is a chance in hell of the system making it.....I'll buy one at the price drop. As that is going to be inevitable...especially if they do not sell well.

For some reason I have this impending WiiU doom like sensation looming over me as I anticipate their launch of the switch. I am hoping of good things for them, but I can not shake this horrible feeling of impending failure.
