When Nintendo said that the Switch was a console first they opened the door for people to expect xbone/PS4-like power so I'm not going to make excuses for the criticism they're getting. Once I saw that Nintendo was going the hybrid route I was hoping that they would position it as a handheld first to dissuade people from expecting twins-like console power from a tablet barring some kind of supplemental power from the dock. I still think it can be successful (especially in Japan) but Nintendo really needs to just abandon the 3DS and say that the Switch is a handheld first to position it as a device that's not competing with traditional consoles. I know they're not going to do that though because they want to milk whatever they can out of the 3DS before it dies.
