Maybe I'm missing something but Nintendo switch makes no sense to me. It has no harddrive which mean all games must sell through retail. This will kill the indie game market and make this console totally depended on the big game studios.

But the console is to weak for AAA games. If NS has 500 gigaflops and 25gb memory bandwidth there is just no way any gamedeveloper wanna waste time with this console. It needs a minimun 750 gigaflops and 50gb of memory bandwidth to even have a small chance for support.

It has built-in storage, similar to your phone/tablets/etc. It also supports SD cards up to any size you want. This is no difference than Wii, WiiU, DS or 3DS which all supported digital-only and indie gaming.

PC gaming demonstrates that you are wrong now. Games on PCs now go down to these NS levels with less RAM. Lowering textures, AA, etc allow alot of flexibility. Middleware used by game devs now also allow relatively simple scaling and supports NS.
