Yes... If this thing is successful... Its coming from the wiiU to compete with two markets (console/tablet) both of which are highly competitive...

It needs to be successful first and in order to do that, it needs to hit all those checkboxes to have the best chance. Battery life is a big checkbox if the device is portable.

I don't think any of that will matter. The markets are competitive, but the Switch is coming at both from the side.

It doesn't need to hit all of the boxes to have the best chance. It just needs to hit most of them. 3 hour battery life will just create demand for accessories to remedy it. If the Switch fails because of batteries, it had far bigger issues than just battery life.

If everything about the Switch is awesome but the batteries, the Switch is going to absolutely going to wreck the console scene, only now with an external battery pack attatched.
