but honestly, I'd rather NOT have VR for the NX, they have hit the nail on the head with the Portable Home Consuel an I would prefer not to have vr to muck it up

    Lol, 16 Dec 2016How? VR and AR is huge currently. They'd be stupid to miss ... moreThey have already lost it. The GPU can't render anything over 720p at 60FPS. VR needs minimum 1080p at 90 Hz , and recommended is 4k at 120Hz (not out yet).

    No VR is better than no VR. They should have made the device more powerful of they wanted VR.

    See phones for example. Only demos and movie viewing, no real VR...

        It is more powerful than any current smartphone.. And people are using smartphones for VR.. Only the screen is 6.2" with just 720p will be a pixelated VR experience.. But this is Nintendo.. If anyone can make a pixelated VR a joyous gaming experience it will be Nintendo and no one else.

And the size of the console would require a bigger vr box than the ones out there, well, if the switch is gonna be used for this vr headset. although I think a separated display with higher resolution will be required. hehe

                        Oh please no! It's too weak, it will look terrible (either low FPS or low res. Both look terrible in a VR environment)
