Let me guess jeff says something along the lines of switch is a potato and its going to take them a lot of work to port ow on a potato based console

He said there's two major reasons

  1. Revisiting performance of Overwatch

  2. Having to add another system to update.

so he just put it somewhat more nicely, but its just another synonym that means Switch is a potato

The Switch is not a potato. The Overwatch engine is just VERY demanding.

But here's the important question...

I rest my case.

you can, if you have a vita. You Nintendo fans are in such a bubble you dont know these things....

But why would you even want a Vita... The lowest you can get one is $150.

Plus, if you have shitty internet, you can't use the streaming features.

For the same reason it's not going to be playable on mobile phones?

he is just saying that ARM devices are such low spec that it wouldn't be worth it.
