Yea but I don't want to carry a charger around with it or keep thinking about charging it every couple of hours... Its 2016, it's using Nvidia's most efficient arch that handles great with Performance/Watt. There should be zero reason in this day an age that we can't get a decent battery on a 6 inch tablet...

3 hours for the types of graphics Nintendo was showing is pretty darn good to be honest. 

Tegra X1/X2 is not a joke, it's a monster of a chip for a *mobile* chip, the battery you would need to power that for more than 3 hours would be ridiculous in size. 

People also think "well my tablet gets like 8 hours". No it doesn't. Not under heavy gaming, it's maybe half that in that case. You get 8 hours doing low processing power tasks like surfing the internet or dicking around on Youtube. 

Ummm... Not from a usability standpoint... People can say how impressive it is all they want but it is going to get rekt in the reviews and public perception if it is only 3 hours. If it ain't at least 5, most people won't like that aspect at all and it is important enough to be a deal breaker. It was one of the biggest complaints of the wiiU gamepad.

Considering it is a new very efficient arch and it is meant to be portable, if they don't have a battery that lasts 5+ hours... Then they goofed it.
