You underestimate the talent at Naughtydog, as I am sure they could squeeze more out of the WiiU a non-developer like you or I could dream of.  😉

To be quite frank, Nintendo's teams have continuously demonstrated an uncanny ability to get the more out of hardware than I thought possible. I'm not sure if Naughty Dog could do a better job than what the team has done getting Breath of the Wild to run on the Wii U. My main point was that Naughty Dog appears to have those uncanny abilities with the PS4 hardware and they have a lot more to work with. When you're getting that level of optimization, scaling it back to much weaker hardware isn't feasible.

Oh the game would have to be built from the ground up FOR the WiiU, be at 720p, and the PS4 would certainly be better looking for obvious reasons.  It would need to be recoded in a way that would be outright illogical for the WiiU.  I was just saying it could be done.

 

But my main point was that the Switch can indeed run PS4 caliber games if the WiiU can do BotW.  I am not saying it has to match Uncharted 4 or anything, but it can do 720p on pretty much everything the PS4 has to offer.  Seeing as how that is all we need for the handheld portion, and that is what I am talking about wanting to use it for, any added power is a bonus for me at that point.  We won't know what it will be able to do docked until we see the specs.
