This is a 9th gen console though. Why would they go and make it weaker than 8th gen??

To be honest I think they should just make it backwards compatible with WiiU and scrub the WiiU, and make the new one its 8th gen replacement.
It's too early to go 9th gen spec for them, the unit prices would be sky high and the profit margins super low.

Each time they underspec/outspec they are giving third parties the middle finger and ensuring the consoles lifecycle is sparse for games.

It also keeps putting 3rd party developers in this uncomfortable position where they know the next Xbox and Playstation will be available within 2 years making it a high risk proposition to invest heavily into Nintendo's new platform.
