It's funny there is so much argument on Switch's power and Skyrim on Switch based on the reveal trailer alone. When there's already an experience Nintendo never delivers the things they show in reveal trailers * cough Zelda Wii U.

Very simple... if Switch is as powerful as XB1 (which seems to 1. make everyone happy 2. key for 3rd party support [ even though the world is actually moving on to ps4pro/scorpio/ps5 already]) then...

- Why didnt they announce the specs, why keep everyone guessing?
- Why isn't Mass Effect 4, Red Dead 2, Final Fantasy 15 announced for the Switch? Dragon Quest 11 was announced for the Switch. Quite obviously, Dragon Quest 11 is a less graphically demanding game.
- Skyrim isnt even confirmed on the Switch....

 

Last question, what happened to Switch being double the power of ps4? Anyone still believes that? Just shows how out of the world things get on here. 

For now, the specs may still change due to NVidia possibly giving Nintendo a better deal, depending if they could manufacture a custom version of the newer Tegra insted of a custom version of the older one (which means power might still be in the air). That might cause 3rd parties to not confirm anything. That, and Nintendo forcing them to wait for something and not disclose which games are they working on. Skyrim will come to the Switch, it's on the trailer, but if Nintendo don't let them confirm it, they won't do it.

As for the Switch being twice the power of the PS4, well... People want it to be powerful :P

I doubt the specs will change in the few months going forward.  Which is another thing, the Wii U's big promises happened in 2011, a year and 6 months almost before launch.  This is happening 4 months before launch.  That's pretty tight and maybe that was the point, they wanted to wait until they had these devs locked in for at least one or two games a piece in the first 1 to 2 years.  

And I know I sound like a broken record, but Bethesda is a big deal here because Bethesda doesn't make commitments when there are significant unknowns.  That's why they didn't support the Wii U.  It's not a guarantee, but it is a very good sign.
