its obviously considerably more powerful than the Wii U, Zelda Breath of the Wild in downgraded PORTABLE mode looks vastly better than the Wii U version....
not trying to be a dick, but the Switch preorders already have sold out, I don't think everyone cares about power as much as you. Its a HYBRID portable system for gods sake, why would you realistically think that a system that doubles as a portable for HOURS on end on a battery would be able to run at as high power as the other systems on the market
just the fact that Zelda looks so incredibly good on the Switch in portable mode (arguably better than a lot of PS4 and Xone games look) shows that power is somewhat irrelevant.
Again though, you have to be realistic. When the Switch is a multiple times (if not more than that versus the Vita) more powerful than any former dedicated gaming device that says something
also people on Neogaf have been making some logical posts that as far as the space inside of the system when including battery and the other components, realistically for the price point the Switch is about at the max it can be for battery life and specs (again, to remain at 300$ or under price).
to the naysayers- you can throw out all the numbers you want but in terms of getting a portable tablet to run advanced games, like Zelda Breath of the Wild, its not always just about pure specs because the reality is the most advanced tablets out there generally are not capable of playing games like Zelda. Bear in mind things like the graphics chip and parts do take up plenty of space
People are being unrealistic about these things. If it were that easy to release a 250$ price point handheld (or hybrid) with current gen graphics and insanely good battery power then Microsoft or Sony would do it. a lot of you are being delusional. There isn't a magic spell that makes it economically possible to do and to provide to consumers at a realistic price point.
a portable at like PS4/Xone levels would need a giant fan to maintain temperature AND it would be mega expensive
