Doesn't matter. Performance wise it is weak. I mean historically weak for a new machine at launch. If rumors are to be believed its using a massively underclocked version of outdated hardware. Even Wii U was a bigger jump from Wii. This is like a slap in the face of all Nintendo fans. The fact that it could end up costing as much as hardware that is many times more powerful than it is a even bigger slap in the face handheld or not.

You see a slap in the face everywhere, like really, is just annoying at this point, if Nintendo make you suffer so much then forget about them already, they are trying to make an appealing and coherent device for the mass public, they are not here to take care of your insecurities and your feeling of entitlement, they don't owe you a more powerful device, is their idea, they think this is the best way to go, that's not a slap to anyone, if you don't like it don't buy it, jeez.

I don't really think you can call it a appealing and coherent device. Its a tablet. Its a tablet in a sea of tablets. They are already competing with themselves thanks to them releasing games on mobile. This strategy isn't a coherent one. And I have no idea how you can call a massively underclocked Tegra X1 appealing.

And you're right. They don't owe me anything. I guess the joke was on me for buying every Nintendo console since the NES. I'm not entitled to anything for giving them thousands of dollars over decades. I'll have to see if they make another machine or if they go full mobile after Switch.
