Yeah, this close to launch people just get carried away. But hey, it's normal, we both made it through a couple of console generations and people always freak out if the Nintendo console is actually good. God, I feel like a grandpa who has seen it all. :P
I think the base of all these disucssions is wrong to be honest. The Switch is not a Wii-level mass market product (yet) but it's much closer to the Wii than the Wii U and actually reminds me a lot of the early DS days. It's Nintendo moving upmarket with motion controls, it's a freaking portable Wii (without Wii Sports as of now). If people go nuts over it because they are not the target audience... well, whatever. I see it from a different perspective: I'm gonna be able to play games with my friends again after half a decade of having nowhere to go as a customer. Not just my gamer friends, but all of them! I love my PS4, Vita, 3DS and I even like my Wii U but there's something unique about gaming that was designed to bring people together. It's magical. It's freaking awesome and if Nintendo delivers I'm gonna be a happy customer.
Just wanted to put that out there, not necessarily as a reply to your post but more as a general statement because people seem to forget that it's not about CPU power or resolution or the best online service. Ultimately it's about the question if gaming as a medium seperates us from other people or brings us closer together. When I look at the Switch I see the console that has the most potential to deliver in this regard.
