Agreed, yet after all that how do you come to the conclusion it will still blow the Wii U out of the water, instead of being a modest upgrade to the Wii U? With a March release it would have been nice to see something running on the target hardware by now. Still have to wait until Januari for some more info.

Because it will at worst, be 2x more powerful than the Wii U. I agree with you that this is all speculation based upon hopes and dreams. I am just trying to help control the people who are going insane thinking this is going to compare to XB1 or PS4. I really do hope it is an even more robust and customized nVidia collab, but who knows? We need to wait until January, as you said.

Sure, I expect it to be between 2x and 3x the WiiU as well. I just thought the wording was funny, Switch will blow the WiiU out of the water, while ps4 pro with a similar increase to ps4 isn't anything to get excited over :) (Not that you said that)

It's a small step, WiiU had the benefit of 32mb edram at 70 GB/s and compared to the Wii about 12x more ram for games. And that generated responses of the same mario in HD, with super mario galaxy still being the favorite. Which is a good thing I guess, Nintendo doesn't need raw power.

All I want to know in Januari is, is it worth sacrificing the map/inventory on the gamepad for. Is Zelda on Switch going to be that much better to warrant a day 1 purchase. Or should I just play it on the WiiU as I should have done with Twilight Princess. Wasn't worth waiting for the Wii for that one.
