Well I want to know why you think what amounts to a handheld is going to have the processing power of a device that costs $400, is many times larger, and doesn't run on batteries, and it still be "finanically viable"

It's not a handheld.

What makes you think this? I mean it's pretty clear that the main controller/tablet that you can take with you on the go is the heart and soul of this device, and that you can dock it to your television if you so choose. That makes it a console in my eyes.

But furthermore, what makes you think that Nintendo can execute such a concept, with the same power as the PS4 for the same price as the PS4. It's obvious that the main controller/tablet will cost significantly more than the dualshock 4, which means Nintendo has less money to play with in terms of base unit power in order to hit a competitive price point.

Surely there has to come a point where you have to accept that the NX cannot actually be powered by the wishful thinking of Nintendo fans, and that it will have to use real-life, tangible processors that actually exist and can be made at a competitive price point. Any beliefs that this console will be more powerful than the PS4 pro has absolutely no basis in reality. Period.
