FFXIV FOR THE NINTENDO SWITCH

That processor doesn't look like it'd be able to handle an MMO. It's not all about the GPU.

The detachable units look horribly small, fine for kids and others with small hands, not so fine for people with larger hands.

The pro controller looks OK, hardly awesome, but then DS4 is hardly awesome despite being one of the better balanced controllers .

I had a feeling the joycons would be a split issue with people. It is understandable why some would not like it. I think they are fine, but you can always just bring a two pro controllers along and play that way. Nintendo at least is offering a lot of options on how you want to play with the NS with yourself or friends.

No thanks.

I am surprise they didn't name it Wii Switch; I guess they learned from Wii U

I'm extremely skeptical of a system which purports to benefit mainly from a functionality that others have advertised before, but that I'm not really sure I've ever seen work all that flawlessly.

Well, they probably didn't like the idea of hordes of their fans chanting Wii Switch! Wii Switch! We Switch....to PS4!...and so say all of us.

Actually, I think that's what people *should* call this thing. Nintendo Switch is such a long name. WeWii Switch just rolls off the tongue more easily.

lol

On that note though, I imagine they are not calling it the Wii Switch due to the consumer base of Nintendo products. There is a large number of consumers who know next to nothing about video games (I'm guessing mom's etc.) who didn't understand that the Wii U was a different system than the Wii.

Yeah, and that's always been a big selling point for Nintendo. They've never really separated themselves from old school fun (e.g. local co-op for 2-4 players). With how much we value convenience today, the ability to alter how you choose to play using the controller is such a great innovative move for a high profile gaming console. I know for a fact that I will be trying to get it on day one and I know for a fact that I will be using the separable controller like this...

Is the Nintendo Switch more powerful than the PS4?

No. It is the size of a tablet, so there is likely no active cooling solution. That fact alone gives strong hints to the type of power you're looking at. It will have to be a very low voltage processing core, in order to give it a decent battery life but more importantly to keep heat down.
