It's very possibly the strongest mobile machine released to date and they couldn't really make it much stronger without gimping battery life completely. The fact that pretty much the strongest handheld possible right now is also a pretty mediocre homeconsole is unfortunate, but there's nothing Nintendo realistically could have done about that without scrapping the Switch idea entirely.

I don't get this, and this is probably not levied against you but I am just responding to this now having seen something like this again from yet another member.

When people say that the switch is the strongest handheld ever built... what do they mean? Or rather, why is that news? Like what was expected? Nintendo making a new handheld 5 years after their last one and it be less powerful? Is the fact they are making something new going to by default mean its going to be the most powerful they have made? And that they are the only ones making a handheld console now wouldnt that mean that they "win" by defaullt?

And as for the second part, I have been saying it for months before we even had anything near official specs, the NS is at its heart a handheld. So of course it will make for a mediocre home console. But this is also what I believe to be the only option left to nintendo.
