Slightly unrelated question; if Switch is downclocked to 30% of a Tegra X1 when portable, does that make it weaker or stronger than the 2014 Nvidia Shield portable with a fully clocked Tegra K1?

Weaker.
The Tegra X1 was roughly double the performance of the K1 in best case scenario's.

Is PS Vita TV a competitor to XB1/PS4?

The Vita wasn't being advertised as Sony's main flagship platform.
Hence why your comparison is a silly one to make.

You are being an ignorant, the GC was a powerhouse for its age, way above ps2.

And despite not having traditional pixel shaders... Could still do every effect the original Xbox could with some clever use of the hardware.

I'm not sure about that Tegra K1 claim, I saw nothing on the Tegra K1 come close to Zelda: BoTW or Mario Kart 8 or Skyrim. 

Nintendo's flagship platform is a portable system. They aren't in the traditional console sphere any longer, they are not even trying to compete with Sony/MS. You know this is true, you just want to drag it out because they didn't make the system you wanted. 

To be honest if they had made the console that Nintendo fans thought was a good idea -- a 2.5 TFLOP Nintendo console ... they would be in big trouble right now and probably have to delay and go back the drawing board because why would anyone buy that over a PS4 Pro or Scorpio, both of which we didn't know were coming just a year ago. 

At least Switch always has the 3DS audience to fall back on.
