You know man, I understand you're frustration. We all love nintendo and want them to stay around but why oh why can't they be forward thinking!!! They want this console to be around for 5-7 years and they give us that terribley low bandwidth smartphone ram, a powerpc processor from 1999 (Basically took the Wii CPU, doubled the clock speed, and gave it 3 cores and some more cache.) I think they will be ok this gen, but I really can't stand the way they are doing things. Also giving us 8gb of slow flash storage, and then taking up 6gb of it with the OS. And then there is no ethernet, and even worse, USB 3.0. This is gonna be a console nintendo will have to make a revision on in the next few years with better ram, more storage, and usb 3.0. I know they've never done something like that before but still! It's the same way on 3ds. The system has decent visuals but when my ipod from 2009 has a higher clock speed and screen resolution, you know somethings wrong. I love the gamepad so much, but If ninty could have just done a couple things differently i'd be happy.
1. High Bandwidth memory!!!
2. USB 3.0!
3. A new processor architecture! (This isn't a big deal if developers utilize it properly but developers are used to doing things differently)
4. Give us a System under $300 that has graphics that are superior to a noticeable degree, to be a middle ground between last gen and next gen
