XIV on Switch and Xbox

[Kyuuen]

there's an incredibly practical demonstration of the fact that Switch is on par with PS3 and 360. Fifa 18 is releasing, and the switch version is the same as that on PS3 and 360, the PS4/Xbox One version uses a different engine (Frostbite) and has more content and features. Unfortunately this demonstrates what many are suggesting, that Switch is in effect the WiiU that should have been, and is of that generation in performance terms.

I'll have to check that out. I was relying mostly on Tech details and the fact that the Switch being new(er) in architecture that it might pull ahead of PS3 in some areas.

It does, but it falls slightly behind in others. The much larger memory pool compensates for most of that making it a wash, Switch is about as powerful as the PS3 with the benefits of also having a more modern GPU architecture and much more memory. Overall, though, they are similar in terms of the results on screen. I was surprised by the FIFA 18 stuff, I only heard about it this week.
