that only do 720P without pumping it through an HDMI port?
I would think, given the prices of 4k tv's that you could at least get to 1080P, but like most anime, higher resolution for Nintendo games may not buy you much...
I mean you can pick up an octo-core 1080P tablet with 4GB of memory for under $100 US.
Leaving aside what others are saying about power consumption, quality on metrics such as latency, etc, the price comparison isn't entirely fair: Android tablets at this point are a commodity item, and what you're buying for $100 is quite possibly being sold below cost and atypical. Nintendo is more risk averse than, say, Sony, and definitely doesn't want to make losses on the hardware side overall, which means the MSRP has to be quite a bit higher than the BoM. That's probably not possible if they're selling hardware similar to what you're finding.
Are there a lot of other "systems" (Score:2)
