Bethesda in August "We will consider the NX if it's on par with the XBO"

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.

I agree that Bethesda is a big deal. Even if it's just Skyrim, Bethesda is one of the two companies I thought they wouldn't even touch the Switch (alongside Take2, which, yeah, let's see them bring anything other than NBA). Skyrim has a decent shot of being succesful on the Switch due to it being the first portable version and releasing alongside Zelda (fantasy players might buy both, even if Zelda is going to outsell it by a lot). And if that happens, the inevitable remastered versions of Fallout 3 and NV would have a fair chance of arriving there.
