| curl-6 said: Nintendo are no longer making dedicated home consoles; there isn't room on the market for three similar consoles to do well |
I disagree. The 7th Gen showed that three consoles can compete in the dedicated home console market with the Xbox 360, Playstation 3 and Wii doing amazingly well.

The Switch *is* weak. It's a legitimate concern in regards to the device.
| curl-6 said: Plus tablets don't have efficient to-the-metal APIs like Switch does so in terms of real world game performance they fall short. |
Actually... That statement is false.

The big issue with Tablets though is their controls... Or lack there-of.
One thing to keep in mind though is that the Switch isn't even using the most powerfull hardware for Tablet... But it's advantage shines through as Developers need not concern themselves with a lower common denominator/low-end devices when building games.

I can think of quite a few 60fps games that I definitely would not enjoy as much at 30fps; Splatoon 2 and F-Zero GX immediately come to mind. |
Yeah, it's very much down to the game in my opinion.
Twitch shooters, platformers, racers and so on benefit greatly from 60fps, Slower games like Skyrim are perfectly fine at 30fps in my opinion.
It's one of the reasons why I am a PC gamer though. I hate compromises, I shouldn't be forced to go whatever-way by a developer/publisher.
