Is the Nintendo Switch more powerful than the PS4?

This is the important question. After dropping PS3 SE wouldn't fallback and support a system that is weaker than PS4. However if Nintendo Switch is stronger or as powerful as the PS4 then it's possible.

I don't think PS4 will be the minimum spec for 4.0. This time it will be the pc, because some people have very old computer less capable then the PS4 and i can't see Square making the specs so high, that many people can't play anymore. In my opinion, the Switch has to be at least as powerful as the unnanounced pc specs are, but not above PS4. The PS3 was another matter, because it was just to old and the amount of RAM for example is just far to low for 2017 imo.

Based on the specs Nvidia gave (https://blogs.nvidia.com/blog/2016/1...ntendo-switch/ it seems like it's power is comparable to Xbox One. So FFXIV could run fine on it, but I don't know if it would have any limitations beyond anything graphical.

I will just say, off just glancing at it, FFXIV could be a possibility. It is more about if the Switch sells well, if the team can handle it's infrastructure, and if Nintendo will allow cross play.

The big thing that would need to be looked at over graphics is how good the internet capabilities of the handheld are (naturally it will have them, but are they good enough to support an MMO?). We need to look at the switch as its minimum viable product, which is a handheld, and speculate whether or not it is a viable platform for the game. Then again... the trailer showed off handheld splatoon, so who knows.

Other than that, storage capabilities of a handheld are another big issue, with 4.0 coming out, who knows how big this game will be (probably 30GB+ and rising).

yeah from the looks of it the "portable" version of the Switch isn't remote play so much as downscale play so this would be the actual "minimum" of the Switch in regards to MMOs, still if they can pull it off id be nice. First time in a while im psyched for a console since it seems unique and not just a weaker PC in a box.

I don't think it's possible. W/ the specs the Switch have, stormblood looking to improve itself in performance, if it's not on par w/ the PS4 in specs......just think of the PS3.
