Emily says it's still more powerful than a Wii U, so something in between a Wii U and XBox One I guess? And it is actually portable ... which would be a large difference from the Wii U. 

It sounds like basically a better version of the Wii U if anything. I guess the question is how much better. 

It still isn't going to produce even Xbone quality graphics, with those consoles being on the market for 3 1/2 years, maybe 4 if the device is pushed back to holiday. Wii U was more powerful than Xbone/PS3.

Sure it's a console a bit more powerful than the Wii U on the go, but with crappy battery life how good of a thing is that really. And it's really only beneficial if you are a gamer who actually takes their gaming on the road.

No mic essentially means no voice chat. Granted Nintendo games themselves never used it really, but third parties did. I was hoping Wii U would be the next step forward in online gaming.

Could still be a reasonable upgrade on a Wii U ... if it can match say a Nvidia 830M (laptop GPU) from 2014 that would be ok I guess. That can even run games like Batman Arkham Knight and The Witcher 3 at 720p. My worry is Nintendo will needlessly gimp the chip.
