Well, at least it's reasonably more powerful than Wii U, so it's still an increase. But half of the XB1S? That's bad. I mean, as a portable that freaking amazing, but as a console it's pretty underwhelming. I wonder how we're going to play multiplat games at the TV... at this rate, they'd have would run at 540p? Hopefully not.

Still crossing my fingers that it will be at least close to XB1. I know it's asking a lot for a hybrid, but I'm still rooting for that. :c

Honestly, if Nintendo can't get it to be as strong as the PS4 when 'docked', then they shouldn't call it 'primarily' a home console because the lack of power when you compare it to consoles that were considered obselete three years ago just makes the NS look like a big disappointment regardless of its portability.  At the same time, I also know why they don't want to advertise it as a handheld since they're still trying to sell the 3DS.

I agree and disagree with you. Nintendo should not call it a home console because it isn't one; not because of its technical power.

 

There will be a split amongst gamers as to what this console is and subsequently, how the console is viewed:

1) It is an underwhelming home console that can be taken on the go.

2) It is a powerful hand held that can be hooked up to a television.

I believe, based on the philosophy given thus far, that option 2 is correct. Because of this, I am starting to come to terms with, and come around to the idea of, this console.
