People are sure willing to spend a lot on Zelda. Most people I know who bought a Switch bought exclusively for Zelda Breath of the Wild and nothing else. $360 USD without taxes, not including a controller which last I saw was $70 USD.

All the reviewers are raving about what an amazing game BotW is, but I'm not willing to buy a console just for one game. Especially when that one game runs at 20-30 fps (double vsync) at 900p when docked and 720p when mobile. Source is Digital Foundry.

i saw the digital foundry video as well, the docked mode is very worrying... i hear on mobile mode it runs constant 30fps at 720p but isn't a good case for the life span of the console... this time next year we might see 20-25fps games at 540p? just to make things look "pretty".

I see none or very few muti-platform releases being put onto the console, basically just a WiiU version 2... which is a shame too the idea of a hybrid console sounds amazing in theory... maybe the tech just isn't there yet?

Anyone know if intel/amd APU's/integrated graphics are stronger than this tegra?

fail? It looks decent and where is that 80$ thing coming from?

Canadian prices. $80 + 13% tax for big company games. Only Microsoft comes to mind that charges (or at least to) the same amount of dollars from both Canadians and Americans, as in charge less than Americans due to the lower Canadian dollar. I bought Killer Instinct Supreme Edition for the same amount in CAD that they were charging Americans in USD. They charge based on region, so places like India would get much cheaper price.

Steam also charge based on region (and have region locks for that reason), but Canada is exempt from it, what we pay on Steam ends up being more or less the same thing as the American prices.
