If you can wait then do so until late summer as I suspect the slimline version of the consoles will be announced for a price between the series s and x

Tbh if you have a gaming pc you’d be better off just buying new hardware for it rather than buy a console you will have to replace in 6 years. Also pc>>console. Less expensive (long term) more freedom, more options, upgrade as you go. No typical console bs.

Not true at all. Ps5 are 7 million ahead (vgchartz.com)

Upscaling 720p to 4k doesn’t yield good results, and that’s even when using dlss 3, the most advanced technology.
Teraflops are literally one of the most straightforward metrics - it’s how many trillion floating point metrics the GPU can handle every second.
The series S is similar to the gtx 1650, which is actually ray tracing capable. Besides, the series S can hardly handle it either.
And yeah, it will run the AAA games, but at 720p30, on the lowest available settings. It’s just a lesser console.
The 750ti actually handles games these days with similar performance to the PS4, which is piss poor.

I'm from brazil. here, eletronics became more and more expensive due to our coin losing value (1 dollar = 5.21 reais currently) and some changes related to import taxes that took place in 2015 (that's when nintendo announced that they would end their activities in the country). the current state of our job market definitely doesn't make things better, it's hard to find a good job even if you have a degree

I see your point. Our economy isn't great and people are really struggling to make ends meet over here due to soaring increases in bills like electric and gas for example, but it sounds like it's worse for you which isn't good. Where about abouts are you from?

it is indeed, but markets are a bit more complex than that. this concept is easier to grasp if you live in a country that has a bad economy, but it basically goes like this: £300 means less to you than it means to me, if that makes any sense. a regular switch costs about two times the current value of minimum wage in my country, and the job market is VERY bad at the moment. this means that, for a college student like me, even the switch lite is a big investment, while for a UK citizen it's pocket change. for someone who isn't fortunate enough to live in a country with decent economy, the difference in prices become larger. in my case, I honestly think that both consoles are great, but I'm a competitive smash bros player, so the choice wasn't much of a choice. I regret buying the regular switch because the lite version's price dropped a lot since then and I don't own a TV anymore

>720p doesn’t look good. My steam deck runs at 800p on a 7 inch screen.
Omg how could you be so dumb my man, have you not heard about upscaling at all?? My tv is 4k my series S does not run at 4k. it still looks very good. You're comparing to a console which comes with a built-in display lmaooo (which looks amazing btw) but you completely lost the plot man, of course my tv is not from fucking 2005 so its not stuck in 720p and the Variable Resolution on the series S rarely gets to 720p even in the most demanding games anyway.
>Also, the series S has 4 TFLOPS. The 3050 has 9.1. Literally double the performance. Even the 5500xt, a very underpowered card, achieves 5.1 teraflops, a whole 25%+ increase over the series S. Youre basically saying the equivalent of a budget pc from 2019 is future proof.
Another braindead hardware take. TERAFLOPS DONT MATTER WHEN YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT COMPLETELY DIFFERENT ARCHITECTURES .
And yes admittedly, the 3050 IS more powerful than the series S. But still most comparable to it, cause guess what? The 1650 doesn't have raytracing pal.
And yes the Series S is "future proof" (in the meaning that it will run all AAA games until 2027-8) simply because consoles have longer lifespan and support than Pcs since they're not really upgradable, so developers always optimize their games for it more.
The PS4 and the gtx750ti were very similar in terms of power and performance, do you think all the new games that are still coming to the ps4 can still run as good in the 750ti nowadays?? Really makes you think doesn't it? 🤔 or maybe not cause you don't appear to have a brain.

Here in the UK the switch lite is £200 and the steam deck starts at £350, so it is nearly twice the price to be fair. The steam deck is still great value at £350 though if that makes sense?

the switch was a big turning point for nintendo. back in the 3DS days, they rejected The Binding of Isaac because it was too violent, the devs had to make a less violent version just for the 3DS... even the indie games were getting turned off by the company, lmao

>Do you mean the markets were it's not officially sold?
I guess so? neither the switch nor the steam deck are 'officially' sold on my country but the steam deck costs about 2x the price of a switch lite because there is no market for it, there's little to no demand for it

the decision really comes down to where you live (as in, the current status of your country's market). if you're on a tight budget I'd say go for it, the switch is the best choice in that scenario. it has a great library of games, specially when compared with the last few consoles from nintendo. it's also worth mentioning that every nintendo console has a big homebrew scene, so... paying for games is optional 8-)
