well, I think nobody really expected it spec wise to be this close to the WiiU
for a handheld thats very commendable though and because it doesn't need to render a 2nd screen, features much newer architecture and gets a good gpu boost while docked (I expect this to be used primarily for higher resolution display) games should look quite a bit nicer overall
now this very much depends on pricing - at $200 this is a hit, especially once it gets a real main-line Pokémon, but at $300 this looks much less enticing
