If it turns out to be true that Switch uses the old Maxwell chip instead of Pascal and the older ARM CPU... I think I'm gonna hold on with my purchase. If it's true, I'm gonna be pissed at Nintendo for lying to me, since they said about the top GPU architecture, which Maxwell isn't even close to being. If it's Pascal I'm gonna buy it, if it's Maxwell, I'm gonna wait for the inevitable (imho) revision that will be using newer technology. If only for battery life.

Nintendo, don't mess this up.

This train of thought really confuses me, why dont you just buy the device based on the games and features it has? Why is the difference between Pascal/Maxwell so important?

Battery life and performance mainly. The kicker being that going for Maxwell makes a future Pascal revision a no-brainer, so I might as well wait for it.
