Take the ram for example, you could double the amount of rams and this would boost performance, load time and game quality but Nintendo goes with the strict minimum in order to save $10 on the cost. This is the new problem after the latest announcement, But what the hell is with the price of the Joy con & pro controller. They are already selling the Switch at the high end of what it should cost and they won't to screw us on the extra controllers. 1-2 switch look like a stupid gimmick game..... It should come bundle with the Switch especially at $299. Battery life is good if it's 6 hours but sucks if it turns out it's only 2.5 hours. Internal storage is still only 32gb.... in the new digital era that's not enough for a consoles. Especially if you don't want to carry cartridge on the go.

Switch is the most advanced portable gaming device, how is it mediocre hardware? Being on par or close to PS4/XBO performance at a similar price is physically impossible. Its CPU/GPU/RAM seems to be pretty balanced for what the device is. 8GB RAM just seems like it would be overkill.

Really? overkill? For sure the Switch is a much better consoles with only 4GB RAM(Sacarsm)... just look at the WiiU how it benefited from having only 2GB RAM. Nintendo is a corporation that want to maximized profit and less RAM is not a consummer friendly or developer friendly decisions. Less ram result is lower game performance/graphic and greater challenge for the developer to make game run on the Switch.
If your a developer more CPU/GPU/RAM is always better. There a reason developers don't like making games on Nintendo hardware. The lack of power and rams make it much harder to port game to the system. Nintendo Switch is getting over 5 year old version of Skyrim and the title is not even available at launch. Why? because it's more challanging to port to Nintendo consoles.
These decisions by Nintendo is part of the reason why they have hard time attracting third party to make or port games to their consoles.
I guess we should be happy rumors were Nintendo was planning on going with only 2gb ram again.
