Eh, this is pretty much exactly correct imho, and it doesn't please me at all.

For all the people saying 'power doesn't matter' and 'it's the only place to play Mario/Smash/Kart/etc', well ... yeah. You're describing the WiiU.

WiiU :

The only place to play great Nintendo 1st party gems.
Not very powerful.
Not really built for online MP, more designed for local MP.
Not very affordable considering the performance (lots of BoM$ tied to the tablet thing)

Switch seems to be the EXACT same recipe, only with something quasi-portable. It's not as portable as a cell phone, 3DS, or even a standard tablet such as an iPad, but it can work out of the house. Battery power is a question mark, but TBH I don't think it matters much one way or the other.

Price will determine its fate. $299 = dead. $249 = mediocre. $199 = possible sleeper hit.
