Well considering that the Switch runs Mario Kart 8 Deluxe in split screen all at 1080p 60fps that's not a remotely accurate statement! Chances are until they get really optimal at working with the Switch, Nvidia hardware and software API, we won't see the systems full potential just yet. 

The ported games really won't tell much about the Switch, it will be the games created from the ground up that will truly shine.

Mario Kart 8 on WiiU was 60fps in split screen as well though.

While it is 720p 60fps in 2 player split screen mode on WiiU, the game is running at 60hz interlaced on 4 player mode for WiiU. Going from 720p to 1080p the Switch would need something like 2.3x the horsepower of the WiiU to achieve what it does on MK8 Deluxe and during the Tree house live stream they said at all times MK8 is 1080p 60fps on the Switch. That should give us effectively a round about idea oh how powerful it is over WiiU... (When docked shall I say!)
