Seeing some comments of people saying that the 4GB won't be a problem for third parties, just like the lower power isn't important either as it only has to power a 720p screen, is so sad that's almost funny.
Third parties won't "find a way around it" or around any other hindrance. Western third parties, and third parties in general when it comes to AAA games, haven't launched their games on a Nintendo console for the last two gens... and they have done great!
Third parties don't need Nintendo, and if they find problems porting their games to Nintendo's console, they will simply forget about it.
Please excuse my bad English.

4GB is plenty for Tegra X1/X2 type performance which is going to be like a Wii U/PS3/360 on steroids.
There is not much reason to worry about PS4/XB1 tier ports, the technology to put a PS4/XB1 level chip in a portable simply isn't here yet.

Yep, there's a reason why Nintendo showed Skyrim (a 5-year-old game) and NBA 2K (a game that's still being made for PS3/360) instead of next-gen only games like Witcher 3 or the new COD.
Switch wouldn't be able to run something like The Witcher 3, or if it could, it wouldn't be pretty.

It seems like it's equally as silly to expect all those major 3rd party AAA games though. On the plus side I don't.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but PS4 has 4.5GB of RAM available for games. If NS allows its 4 gigs to be used fully by the devs, I don't see how is that an issue.

The custom Tegra inside NS can be better than last gen consoles, I don't doubt that.
And thanks for agreeing with me, no one should expect PS4/X1 games ports to the Switch.

4GB? I mean one stick of DDR4 8GB of RAM for PC is $39...
Splatoon launched in 05/2015, since then Nintendo has not released a huge title in home front. It has been working in Switch since then.
I expect at least 4 big titles from Nintendo coming in 2017 for the Switch.
Imagine Mario, Zelda, Metroid and Pokemon for a hybrid coming in the same year, that would totally be a Industry first.
After Jan/12 we will know if these 4gbs matters that much.

Switch is going to have a ton of terrific Nintendo games on it, I don't think anyone doubts that. I think a Splatoon 1.5/Remix version will be available very quickly after launch too if not right at launch.
It will be a very powerful portable and something you can use as for home play in a pinch, but it's not really going to be anyone's first home console of choice aside from the same group of Nintendo fanatics.
It's just a matter of whether you consider that a cup half full or a cup half empty.
