XIV on Switch and Xbox

[Kosmos992k]

Firstly: "Inuk9" is totally right.

Even the Wii U was slightly more "powerfull" than the PS3, so is the Switch slightly better as the Wii U. The Switch has 4GB RAM (wether shared with GPU / CPU or not) and the PS3 has just tiny 256 MB RAM, which is nothing.

Factually wrong. PS3 has 512MB of memory hard partitioned into two pools of 256MB.

And losing 60% in handheld mode is such an utter bullshit and #alternativeFacts. You could maybe push the power of the switch much more if the docking station would provide its own processing unit which it obviously doesnt come along with. The only thing the docking station provides is electricity. So that the coolers of the Switch are turned on while being docked and so the processor capacity can go SLIGHTLY up to increase the resolution output from 720p to full HD.

Are you certain that the coolers are in the switch itself? The way you describe the docked unit just sounds wrong. The GPU has to work significantly harder when docked, and the unit is partially enclosed in the docking unit, without some cooling in the dock itself, heat would build up in the unit.

There are also proves/examples that your assumption is completely false.

Perhaps you could provide quotes from the development documentation to support your assertion?

Zelda Breath of the Wild for example runs much more smoother in 720p on handheld mode than it does on television in 900p (you can read that in technical reviews). In Handheld Mode full HD arent really needed because of the much smaller screen. And the lower the resolution is the less CPU/GPU power is needed (> better fps), easy as that.

I dont even own a Switch (yet) but i would welcome a switch version.
Especially if Yoshi. P and his team thinks that the switch is capable to play "Bloodstorm" and forwarding expansions. I trust in them more than in a sony/pc only fanboy that is talking fanboy bullshit. "60%+ while being docked" LUL...

See, it's that last paragraph that kills your credibility in this discussion, that and obviously false assertions in your opening paragraph.

The fanboy discussion going on here is the one where people are suggesting that SE should make the compromises needed to put FFXIV on a device that demonstrably weak device that more approximately matches the power and capability of last generation than this.
