People please come back to earth. Switch is a handheld device. Its a big tablet. And with 0,75 Teraflops of FP 32 is near half as powerfull than a XBOX ONE.
Is faster than any smartphone, and awesome for a handheld device, but nowhere near a 1.84 Teraflops 3 year old ps4.
It will be better than Wii U of course, and it will have awesome games.

But there are power and size limitations that are obvious. I mean, Battlefield 1 runs at 720p at times on XBOX ONE. This Hanheld wont be able to run a game like that at 720p without serious downgrading.

And there is also the issue of the compatibility. PS4, XBOX and PC are X86, how many companies are going to port every game for an ARM incompatible CPU?. Maybe some games, but I don´t think that we ´ll see a massive 3rd party migration towards Nintendo.

I think is an awesome portable device, but in two years the decision will be, do I want a portable device that can be used as a 720p downgraded console? or I would play on 2160p Scorpio or 1440p or 2160 checkered PS4 pro with better visuals, lighting and texture?. Me, Im sorry for Nintendo , but I go with the big guys. I dont care playing on the bus, I like to play at home in my living room or in the bed.

But the switch would be a good present for my kids christmas tree if he doesnt brake it in pieces in a couple of weeks.
