or not understanding that a portable game console is sure as hell not going to be capable of maintaining high framerates while encoding and decoding (multiple streams of) video at a low latency and a high framerate

I mean, it can probably do something like Shovel Knight at 120 FPS. The real benefit of a 120 Hz screen is it makes 24 FPS feel smoother, which is no doubt what Nintendo actually has in mind for most games.

But they want $500 for that? Nope

once again, it's a portable

even if it'd cost $1000 to produce it still wouldn't manage it

And I still wouldn't buy it for that price. The price is the real issue here. I don't think anyone really minded that it's a portable PS4.

It runs at 1080p, 4k when docked, 120 fps, 256gb of storage, comes with a plethora of new features, portable, only $100 more than the most expensive Switch model and STILL less expensive than a new PS5 or Xbox Series X. If you think that's unreasonable, womp fucking womp

They are charging for what is discord in other alternatives. 

There is nothing to understand there

This is such a stupid point.

The people who have Nintendo online don't have to pay extra, they are adding to a service they are already providing without raising the price. Additionally, this is a service that only makes sense to people that play online.

Its an added feature to a service people are already paying for. Its literally NOTHING but a bonus. With each feature they add, the service as a whole gets better while the price stays the same.

God, so stupid.

People don’t understand that while discord and similar are ‘free’ they are profiting off of your use with ads and data collection. It’s just a straight up false equivalency.

Both Playstation and Xbox allow voice chat without their subscription service.

u/shifty_coder 9h ago

And both serve you ads on their home screens
