I don't know that I understand why everyone is debating whether or not the Switch is as powerful as current consoles or talking about it like that's a terrible thing if it isn't. It's a handheld/tablet. And so far, it is so incredibly graphically superior to any handheld or tablet on the market it's ridiculous. Can anyone here imagine playing even the original Xbox 360 Skyrim on an iPad? Or Mario Kart 8? Nothing has come even close. We should be looking at this thing as a 3DS successor, whether Nintendo intended it or not. And as a 3DS successor it is already looking to be at least 100x as powerful, and compared to other tablets, it's looking like it's at least twice as powerful as even those. If it is in the ballpark of an Xbox One, that would be absolutely amazing. But regardless, let's celebrate the amazing tech for what it actually is, and it is the most powerful mobile gaming device of it's class (and most likely price).
