Why does switch have such shitty performance and low rez?

Something something console wars

this.
The real question is why Nintendo didn't put soul into the console like they used to.

That's not a viable argument given even some mid-range phones have stronger hardware than the switch.

Ultimately it's just about being cheap.

all smartphones and tablets today have passive cooling and higher specs. Switch has active cooling and inferior performance.

portable
doesn't exactly take a rocket scientist

Find me a phone more powerful than a Switch, and I want proofs.

cheap hardware can play movies not games.

Because it's a rebranded Nvidia Shield with an absolutely massive underclock even at its 'maximum' performance level

So it's subpar mobile hardware that was obsolete before it even originally hit shelves that is further gimped by Nintendo.

To put it simply. the Switch is an overpriced piece of gimmicky shit that sells solely on brand recognition and the cult-like mentality of the Nintendo fanbase's propensity to buy anything with a Nintendo label on it regardless of how much of an objective waste of money it is, Hope that answers your question.

>sells solely on brand recognition and the cult-like mentality of the Nintendo fanbase's propensity to buy anything with a Nintendo label on it regardless of how much of an objective waste of money it is,
So... like other consoles, except the switch has also more than 2 exclusives that are actually good

This is the only one I can find and it's over 5 times as much as the Lite version.

Reminder that it pulls in more sales than the Wii U had in it's lifetime annually. It's more than purely blind brand loyalty.
It's marketing

based Huawei

Custom tegra chip
The joycons it comes with
The real question is why isn't the tablet screen itself at least be able to achieve 1080p? Most Chinese phones (including the one I got) have 1080p screens

BUT THATS JUST A THEORY

For portability.

Honestly I like this. It makes devs work within spec to make something decent rather than telling to get fucked and get a new GPU. Or making snapshot wank on other consoles that run like a slideshow so they can have details.

Also they have to turnover a profit in some fashion. Ontop of this, the cartridge's themselves are expensive alone, which is why their games are rarely put on sale. It's all about making profit from cheap hardware, that's how I see it

>releases two years after the switch
>costs 3 times as much
Yeah, it’s totally the same ting

No, the cult of Nintendo is something on a completely different level from the others.

>5 times better
>_5_ times
that basically mean there's plenty that are better and at lower cost

just see anyway

Yeah, that’s why most of Sonyposting here is just posting wojacks dabbing and telling everyone that “they won” while Nintendo threads are actually about the games themselves

..also it shouldn't be about cost, the original argument was the size was a limiting factor to the hardware being shit

but it's more about being cheap and not wanting it to be an expansive device

There are also PCs cheaper and more powerful than PS4 and Xone, what’s your point?

Name one. :)

who's point, who are you replying to. Doesn't sound to answer what OP is asking

Your smartphone would catch fire if it tried to run BotW.

Install CFW on it and overclock the thing. People found out the Tegra chip on it is actually underclocked, and using SYS-CLK to set it to stock speeds actually drastically improves performance in so many games.

Just one example where an area known for awful FPS drops and slowdowns no longer has them. Loading times also are much better.

>"better" Cpu
>Literally no Gpu

Its like these threads are made by people with literally no knowlegde of specs

HMMMMMMMMMMMMMM

Because it's a portable system, it's more in line with phones and tablets, they have to balance size, performance, energy consumption and price.
What kind of fucking question is this? How much of a retard do you have to be in order not to see the obvious physical dimensions of it and what that entails?
The constant comparisons of the Switch with the PS4 are asinine and serve no purpose other than console wars, except that the switch is not really even a console.
It's like asking why an economy car has such shitty performance and horsepower when compared to a gas guzzling truck.
Asking such a question is automatic proof of mental retardation.

Please don't bump this shit thread.

I like to shit on the Switch's hardware compared to a modern smartphone but there are simply no good games on mobiles using that full gpu.
Name one good mobile game that isnt gacha shit or lootbox shit that uses the phone's capability to its full extent.

Traumatised Snoybois in fucking meltdown over the Switch's success.

>instantaneous comparison to mobile devices and tablets
>mobile devices and tablets have exponentially better hardware on paper, but the reliance on ambient cooling means they underclock like an absolute motherfucker to avoid boiling your flesh when you pick it up, or blowing up the battery
>you are not going to be using a mobile device or tablet the same way you would a nintendo switch anyways, comparison is about as effective as comparing macbook and PC specs
every thread

It's using what is basically mobile hardware to play full fledged console games
But what about overheating?

I'd imagine it does heat up like a motherfucker or burn through the battery in very short order. Video doesn't talk at all about the effect on the console

lol who cares

It's true and it's fucking sad
>around 2008-2010, not sure when
>got my first Android smartphone
>tons of pay-to-play games with a lot of them at least being decent and somewhat original
>2018
>upgrade to a new phone
>barely any games, everything is just ports and gachashit
I mean some of the gachashit out there looks pretty as fuck but it's still just gachashit.

Because Nvidia Tegra X1 a chip from 2015 with 28nm.

The cpu score is close, but the Adreno 512 GPU is way weaker than the Switch.

>last 5+ years of Yea Forums: "LOL enjoy ur shity 240p handheld loser literally who would play a 3ds in public vita is so much better
>vita was essentially a ps2.5 with specs so awful the Mortal Kombat 9 port was a laughing stock for years until the vita died and nobody talked about it ever again outside of /hbg/ and /vitagen/, both of which 404 less than halfway before bump limit consistently
>2017, Switch comes out, is unironically more powerful than last gen's main home consoles in every single way and can handle ports from those systems with ease, literally a PS3 in your fucking pocket
>lol why so underpowered tho
Kill yourself. If you really need more powerful hardware in a fucking handheld of all things, wait for the Pro model or get a GPD Win Max. Or just neck yourself.

why would anyone pay $400 plus tip for an outdated 2015 tablet? That is the question

>pocket
What kinda fucking pants do you wear, user

Preconfigured games that are native to the hardware, that are easily pirated, and developed to frequency specs below the theoretical maximum, so once 'overclocked' all these games will run mostly flawlessly.

>he doesn't wear cargo pants
Knew you were a fuckin' pleb, don't @ me fag.

lol what a nerd
only nerd losers wear cargo pants

That sounds like something an insecure incel would say. Go outside for once, you might like it. Just get some sunglasses before you do, I know it's been a while and I don't want you to hurt your eyes.

lol what projecting nerd
i bet ur a homo aswell

Nintendo is never good at making powerful hardware since they focus more on making fun games. I think it is way overpriced though but you can always pirate game on it though so you can still get what you pay for.

Not BotW but phones can play demanding games like Black Desert
youtube.com/watch?v=2tAv1LB8v5o
Of course it's gimped because it's a direct port from a game aimed at high end PCs
But so does BotW on switch when not docked (which is still gimped when docked compared to when it's emulated on cemu)
