HD rumble is a very expensive gimmick. 

Is it? Do you have a source for this?

480p/60 ;)

The Switch is a fantastic handheld, It's going to be must have by the years end, but it remains a 400 GFLOP machince with less peak performance than the PS3

Switch has more performance than the PS3. You wouldn't be seeing Zelda at 900p or FAST RMX at 1080p on the PS3. FLOPS aren't a very useful metric for comparing performance between radically different components and architectures.

Switches extra VRAM and more modern tech do make it more powerful than the PS3 overall, and it allows for the higher resolutions of 900p and 1080p. But it's not going to run games that look much different to PS3 level visuals. I mean maybe something like GoW III at 900p at most.

Point is it's weak enough to not get gen 8 multiplats, just like the WiiU, just like the PS3. It's not getting Red Dead, Anthem, Witcher 3, Battlefront II because they were designed to run on home consoles that were at least 3 times more powerful. And remember the Switch itself is limited by the fact that it has to run all it's games within 150 GFLOPS in portable mode. Now that's the real kicker.
