Welcome back Tech Room Enthusiasts! We're trustedshoppingguide.com and today we are
in the Tech Room. In this video, two gaming console brands will be going head to head.
We have the Nintendo Switch Lite and the PS4 Slim. If you re interested in getting into the gaming
world, then chances are you ll end up in one of four factions. These factions are called Nintendo,
PlayStation, Xbox, and PC gamers. While each gaming faction differs in terms of performance
and game offerings, they also overlap in some areas as well. What is apparent,
however, is that you can t go wrong with any one of these choices.
For today s video, we will be pitting two top-of-the-line gaming devices - the Nintendo
Switch Lite and the PS4 Slim Console - against each other in a battle of epic proportions. Both
of these consoles have earned five badges from our team at trustedshoppingguide.com, attesting
to their quality, durability, and performance. However, there s only one room for a winner,
so sit back, relax, and watch as we battle it out in today s Brand Wars!
If you are interested in the other gaming consoles that we reviewed, do check out our
gaming console review video linked below. If you want direct links to the products themselves,
all these links are also listed below too. So, without further ado, let s start the brand wars!
The first category that these gaming consoles will be going toe to toe with
is their design and form factor When choosing a gaming console or device,
design and form factor are very important factors to consider. A traditional gaming console will
usually take up a substantial portion of your TV rack or gaming desk while a mobile
gaming device will come with a very lightweight and compact form factor for easy portability.
Right off the bat, you ll notice that both consoles have very different form factors and
design philosophies. The Nintendo Switch Lite is an exclusively-portable gaming device that comes
in a very lightweight and compact form factor. The Sony PlayStation 4 Slim, however,
is a full-fledged gaming console that s designed to be placed
on a TV rack or gaming desk. It is worth noting, however, that the PS4 Slim is a slimmer and more
compact gaming console in comparison to its more apt counterparts like the PS4 Pro and Xbox One.
In terms of portability, the Nintendo Switch Lite is the clear winner of this category, and so it
drew the first blood and earns one point. The second category that these two brands
will be going toe to toe with is their display and resolution
Display and resolution are clear indicators of how powerful a gaming console is. As a rule of thumb,
modern gaming consoles should at least output a Full 1080p HD resolution at
30 frames per second. However, PC gaming rigs and next-gen consoles such as the Xbox Series
X and PlayStation 5 already make quick work of this and are capable of providing a 4K resolution
and a steady framerate of 60 frames per second. Being a portable gaming device, the Nintendo
Switch Lite fares quite poorly in this category with its 1280 by 720 resolution.
It is worth noting, however, that this screen resolution doesn't quite look as
bad as it sounds on its 5.5-inch LCD screen. In fact, you won t even notice this drop in
screen quality once you get immersed in a game. On the other hand, the PS4 Slim s significantly
more powerful processor provides an output of 1080p Full HD that looks quite good on both a
27-inch gaming monitor and a larger 55-inch TV. As clear as night and day, the PS4 Slim is the
winner of this category with its stunning Full HD display output and reliable 30 to
60 frames per second framerate. It earns one point and ties up the competition at 1-1.
The third category that these two brands will be going toe to toe with is their controller
The gaming controller is the middleman between you and your game, so it only makes perfect sense that
it s an important factor when choosing a gaming console or device. A good controller should be
perfectly-designed so as to accommodate both small- and large-handed people. Additionally,
button placement should be designed for easy access and an ergonomic design allows for longer
gaming sessions without causing fatigue. The Nintendo Switch Lite s controller isn
t exactly the best in terms of ergonomics and comfortability. What it does have in spades,
however, is connectivity with other Joy-Con controllers. This allows you to play with
up to four people with four Joy-Cons, making it a perfect vehicle for playing party games.
The PS4 Slim s DualShock 4 controller, however, is about as excellent a gaming console controller
as you can ever get. It perfectly sits in your hand and the familiar button and
trigger placement is the perfect embodiment of the saying If it ain t broke, don t fix it.
Not to knock anything away from the DualShock 4, but innovation is the name of the game when
it comes to modern gaming and its conservative approach to controller design leaves room for so
much more improvement. For its versatility and colorful design, however, the Nintendo Switch s
Joy-Con controllers offer a very refreshing way to view gaming consoles and their controllers.
It wins this round and earns another point. The fourth category that these two brands
will be going toe to toe with is their performance and graphics
Performance and graphics are arguably the most important factors to consider
when choosing a gaming console or device. With technology advancing every year
and more computing power being crammed into smaller and smaller chips and processors,
gaming has never been more alive than right now. The Switch Lite runs off of a customized Nvidia
Tegra X1 chipset, while the PS4 contains an AMD Jaguar CPU and a 1.84 TeraFlops AMD Radeon GPU.
What that translates to is that the PS4 significantly outperforms the Switch Lite
when it comes to overall computing power. If you watch the kinds of game graphics available for
either system, you won't struggle to tell them apart thanks to the
higher fidelity of the PS4's graphics. When it comes to sheer computing power,
the PS4 Slim is the definitive winner of this category. This shouldn t come as a surprise
given that the Nintendo Switch Lite was and is designed for handheld gaming. With the
score being tied again at 2-2, the next and final category will be a tiebreaker.
The fifth and final category that these two brands will be going toe to toe with is their games
Of course, it wouldn t be a gaming console video if there weren t any mention of games.
Although there is a lot of overlap in terms of the gaming libraries of all the major gaming consoles
offered by Nintendo, Sony, and Microsoft, there are tons of exclusive games for each company.
This is where we start to see the clear divide between each gaming faction.
While Nintendo s library of games has been traditionally-geared towards a more PG-friendly
audience, it s recently been gathering steam as an indie game machine. This allows you to play all
sorts of games from AAA games such as the Zelda and Mario games all the way to obscure indie games
made by really talented and passionate people. The PS4 Slim, on the other hand, is no slouch
either. It offers iconic exclusives such as God of War, The Last of Us,
Uncharted, and so much more. These games push the console to its limits, providing the very
best experience that gaming has to offer. Although this category ultimately comes
down to preference, we believe the PS4 Slim offers a much more robust gaming library.
For this reason, we are giving it a slight edge over the Nintendo Switch Lite.
Finally, we have come to the end of this battle of gaming consoles between the Nintendo Switch Lite
and the PS4 Slim. Even though it was a very tough fight, the PS4 Slim beats the Nintendo Switch Lite
by a narrow margin of one point. As much as we would like to keep going on about the wonderful
features these gaming consoles offer, there can only be one victor today and the PS4 Slim has
already claimed its throne as it waits for yet one more battle with another formidable opponent.
And there you have it, folks the battle between the Nintendo Switch Lite and the PS4 Slim has
finally ended. If you have any contenders for our next gaming console face-off,
