Yup, it seems you are right and I was wrong, but EG still dont knows how many SM and with custom part what exactly Nintendo changed in cheap, we know clocks only and memory, but still dont know whole storey.

It didn't take too long of us arguing for the realistic expectations to the Switch. It's a handheld device and as such there is no voodoo magic to turn this machine into some powerhouse. Especially when Maxwell architecture was pretty much "confirmed".

We have now a handheld that can connect to the TV and get a slightly better performance that way. Isn't that good enough?

Yep it is! At the end of the day, its the games that sells hardware. That is why the Wii U and Vita flopped sooo hard, and one of the reasons why PS4 is winning by a lot! 

 

As long as Nintendo gives us all of their IP on the Switch (that includes metroid) then theres hope.
