I think it's only 720p docked in a few games? Minecraft, Rocket League?

he means the UI when games aren't being played.

christmas 2018. thinner and you can't take off the joycons. the controls sticks are downgraded to those pad things. but there's a camera in it. the virtual console is exclusive to the switch lite

There's no reason for them to release a revision that soon. The 2DS didn't come out until 2 years after the 3DS, and that was after the 3DS didn't do very well at launch.

The Switch is selling extremely well, there's no reason for them to do a revision any time soon. and it's not like the DS where the original system kinda sucked and a new form factor by itself made a huge difference. I don't know why people are having problems with this.

honestly i might be more into it if it turns out it's only 10-12 hrs rather than the 30 that XCOM is

i finished shadowrun returns and never finished XCOM on account of shadowrun returns being like 6-7 hours

This is why exactly I'm interested in Mario/Rabbids. I've always been interested in playing an XCOM game but the I get kinda turned off with how investing they seem to be. Something lighter sounds perfect.

They wont have a revision until they have tapped out demand for a full price switch which given shortages could be a while.

Then they cut the old models price, and launch a new one.

Am I reading this right? Did someone just ask whether they should buy the new Xbox One X?

I'll have you know it's the most powerful console that has ever existed.

It also plays 4K Blu-Ray's, suck it Sony :smuggo:.

What do you mean 'new games'? Didn't you see Forza? Crackdown 3? Our many upcoming console launch window exclusives? :confused:

Nintendo home consoles tend to be pretty optimized in their form factor for the duration of their lifetime. The DS and Game Boy Advance both got revisions for obvious technical/comfort reasons (along with the various 3DS models), but there hasn't ever been a real hardware variation for a home console aside from the Wii Mini. And that was just an excuse to get rid of spare parts.

I will give the XBO X one thing, it does exactly what it says it does without any of the "it's totally a 4K console" with the fact that it's just faking real 4K being treated like it's in the fine print where they don't want anyone to notice it.

Like, it still doesn't feel desirable, but it doesn't feel like Microsoft is trying to obfuscate the hardware's limitations.

Now, the actual exclusivity of its launch titles? That's another thing. But then Sony is pretty bad about that too.

Sony at least just lets the games showcase without a big CONSOLE LAUNCH EXCLUSIVE beforehand to make sure everyone knows just how desperate they are to get someone to buy their new machine.

I haven't played 2, but a lot of the playtime in XCOM comes from somewhat randomized maps and your dudes dying from bad luck. I'm excited to play XCOM with static maps and no permadeath
