so correct me if im wrong, but it looks like it will be like half as powerful as XB1/ps4, while coming out 4 years later?

also, is switch the successor to the WiiU? is it a home console (and portable)?

Thanks for posting this, but yeah launching a video game console is one thing, but to suggest that the company should roll out world wide 4g internet to "make money" from the sim card port on that system is indeed not unlike suggesting they profit from the sale of electricity to the machines or go into production of TVs with which to view the content on.

Jason1637 all consoles since the original Xbox have featured an Ethernet port on them, no console manufacturer has ever offered a global broadband service to download data from the service they provide, heck even the biggest mobile data providers on the planet do not have a global network they simply offer roaming onto other companies networks around the globe, if Nintendo could successfully offer 4g globally with unlimited data they could quite easily never look to video games to earn another Yen... ever and be profitable from that.

Edit: nevermind, sorry

it still is a portable, you really expecting a portable with xbox one/ps4 power and 1080p screen that cost only 250$?

Battery life is better than before, but still not that great.

The battery level is PSP level... don't know what to think about it. I mean we got used with Sony devices that had mediocre battery life but it seems that Nintendo is going down that route as well (Its already obvious with my 3DSXL). Power wise I love the rumored specs. Nintendo internal teams will do wonders with it

Its a 500gflop, fan cooled tablet. In 2016 you're not getting a consumer battery, which fits into that shell and is going to give you 10hours peak performance. 

Charge cases and quick chargers are everywhere now though.

Console runs low on battery, use quick charger to recharge, continue playing while charger recharges, rinse and repeat.

Yep, they sell nice 20000mAh bricks power banks with 5 or more USB sockets, enough to give extended power to tablet, smartphone and portable console, and even digital camera, if it has USB recharging (my cheap old one hasn't, but it runs on common AA batteries, I use rechargeable ones and always carry at least one spare set of fully charged ones besides those in the camera).

I would be quite disapointed with these battery life, it's pretty subpar compared to current handhelds.
