Nintendo Switch probably more powerful than the Xbox One S, gets PS4 ports

Certainly it is an achievement and this is leagues ahead of both the 3ds and the Vita as far as handhelds go in terms of power but ps4 levels is quite a lot to achieve. While it is true that ps4 does use pretty weak parts, it still has better cooling and is able to draw more power than the NX ever will be able to. When you take that into consideration as well as drawing too much power will also kill the battery life, it suddenly becomes harder for the NX to reach those levels even with a lot more efficient architecture. If it weren't for those limitations, I would say it has a shot but considering those, I am skeptical.

At best, it will be with x1 imo

On Battery life Nintendo have stated NS is a home console first and foremost so long battery life may not exactly be their priority, this also points to the high possibility that a dedicated 3DS successor is on the way to fill that role properly. I wouldn't be surprised if NS has a recharge cable of some sort for play away from home and if the platform in portable mode simply scales down to a lower resolution than when it's docked.

Yea they have stated that but it would be odd to release two portable products from them. It will confuse the consumers if they did that and potentially compete with themselves... But we don't know if thats even going to be a thing so we should just speculate on what we do know. Nintendo can call it a home console "first and foremost" but if it acts like a handheld that can connect to the TV, then that is what most people will see it as.

They did show quite a bit of portability on its trailer so I doubt the battery will be short. Even if it isn't very long, it still has to be a consideration if they are going to advertise it as portable device in any sense. They showed it being played on airplanes and car trips so...

And yea, I wouldn't doubt that there might be a power saving technique like that.
