In its very first year&comma; it got a lot of love from Bethesda in the form of <em>Skyrim<&sol;em> and <em>Doom&period;<&sol;em> But as far as big budget AAA games are concerned&comma; you will get a lot more on the PS4&period;

Besides&comma; the hardware inside the Switch is more suited for mobile gaming than gaming on the TV&period; To their credit&comma; Nintendo does give you that option via the dock though&period; Whether you are traveling on a plane or just resting on your bed after a long day at work&comma;
