No I don't think hate will go down after Nintendo release an underpowered 400GFlop console in 2017 that will get very little of the blockbuster third party titles.

Just out of curiosity, how powerful do you think a device in that form factor should be?

The problem is the form factor isn't so relevant, as this will likely also be the only home console produced by Nintendo. The hate is coming from people that want a home console experience.

For people who aren't really interested in handheld gaming the Switch is incredibly underpowered considering it is strongly outmatched by machines released 3 and a half years earlier.

Considering it's form factor, it's a great piece of hardware, but if you just want a console you plug into your TV it's pretty awful.
