  • You also have to take into account what that could mean overall. What they could've effectively meant is that it's top performing for Nintendo and the Switch's needs. So if that's the case, well that Maxwell one may just do it. Plus you have to also consider that Nintendo has already said that they aren't competing with Sony or Microsoft. What could that possibly mean? The only thing Sony and

    Yeahs1
  • Microsoft have in common is that they always make powerful consoles. So if Ninty themselves has said that they aren't competing with them, I take that as them saying it's not about power for them. But who in their right mind would pay $400+ for a console that can't run the best of what 3rd parties have to offer? Honestly the only success I see Ninty having is with their Super Nintendo World thing.

  • @Luna, but you said it yourself, Nintendo needs to learn from their mistakes! using a dated Maxwell architecture is only going to hurt Nintendo and the Switch!! Nintendo needs 3rd party, it's that simple! I want Nintendo to release a monster of a console, and it's not too much to ask that they use the better Pascal architecture for it has better battery life and is more powerful!!

    Yeahs0
  • If Nintendo doesn't use the better Pascal architecture, i have no alternative but to put the blame on Nintendo's CEO Mr. Tatsumi Kimishima for making such a huge mistake on the Switch!! I hope this rumor is false and that Nintendo did learn from the Wii U's failures!! If the Switch is under powered like the Wii U was i'll still get one but i'll be very unhappy!!

  • Just because they should doesn't mean they will. It's that simple. They should've stuck with Paper Mario's and Metroids old formula but they didn't. So as a result both games tanked. They should've made the Wii U as powerful or almost as powerful as their competitors consoles but again wasn't even close. Due to nonexistent 3rd party support and many other smaller factors, that tanked too. To quote

  • one of my favorite characters from video games, "The definition of insanity is to keep doing the same thing but expecting a different result each time." Which is what Nintendo is basically doing. Sadly for them, the majority of their potential consumers just don't care or have thankfully gotten wise enough to not fall for false promises. Wow blaming Kimishima just shows just how uninformed on this

    Yeahs0
  • whole ordeal you are! In case you weren't aware, the switch is Iwata's doing. Kimishima has openly stated that he didn't sway at all on Iwata's vision for the switch. Meaning if it tanks, it's not due to Kimishima, it's due to whatever choices Iwata made for the console before passing. Getting one whilst being unhappy is the wrong move. That teaches them nothing and they will continue to milk you

    Yeahs0
  • for all you're worth. Enabling them and their poor choices is not going to help them at all. Not buying it if it's not what was promised, is the better way to go. That sends them a very loud and clear message.

    Yeahs0
  • top preforming games is all i care abowt and nintendo always deliveres those

    Yeahs1
  • @Luna, i would put the blame on Mr. Kimishima because he is the one in charge of Nintendo, if Nintendo went with the Maxwell architecture Nintendo is doomed! Hopefully they learned from their mistakes though!!

    Yeahs0
