Portable performance is at least 2x for cpu of wii u possibly more, then you have more memory, perhaps 30% gpu performance. Definitely considerably more powerful than wii u when portable. Wii u couldn't do Skyrim, its got a hopeless cpu and skyrim is very cpu bound. In dock mode you have probably 3-4x wii u in gpu terms.
Obviously compared to the original ps4 and xbone its hugely inferior in performance and doesn't even start to compare to ps4 pro or scorpio.
Looks to be a great portable but I don't use portables that much so I was looking for reasons beyond portability.
Switch will probably launch ok and then hit a cliff edge and be forced into a price drop.
I think I'd only be happy to pay about £150 now almost half what they are asking so probably something like a secondhand purchase in a year or something. I'd only really want it for Mario.
