Also kinda crazy to think Nintendo charges like 9 times as much as PS4/XB1 do for performance on their system.

By doing a simple teraflops/price math you're ignoring all aspects of the devices. It's a rough approximation of a rough approximation. The Switch is a mobile device, so it has a different thermal/power consumption requirement. It also packs a LCD touch screen and other components that add to the cost.

I could use the same math to say how worse the performace/price ratio of a Galaxy S8 is when compared to a GTX 1070. It doesn't make a lot of sense.
