wiiu came out 5 years ago, if switch  was wiiu 2 it should near ps4 power now if it was a home console only.

I understand there are differences, but I was being hyperbolic in the comparison to suggest a point. That point being, your comment doesn't make sense. The Wii U was a console who's power advantage literally lasted a year, and a console who's hardware was compromised due to a tablet controller. The Wii U might have released much earlier than Switch, but if anything, it is the under-powered console. The Switch is more powerful than the Wii U and it's a handheld. Even if you want to say that Nintendo should be caught up to the PS4 by now, you're only exacerbating the flaw in your comparison. Because in reality if you dislike the Switch due to it's hardware limitations, you should have never even liked the Wii U to begin with, since it was outdated in literally a year.

Your opinion isn't necessarily wrong. Fact is, a lot of people will only use the Switch as a home console and in that respect they might be disappointed by the small amount of advantages it has over the Wii U. It's an interesting perspective and one that I welcome, especially since I mostly use Switch as a home  console. Still, your comment had holes.

In general though I don't like it when people who have a trend of continuously downplaying one company start making claims about how they liked x and y console. It doesn't make sense for an argument especially when any normal person can connect the dots. Your contribution to this site has been to just downplay anything Nintendo, you even went as far as to say such ridiculous things as "Nintendo fans do most of their shopping on amazon" because you didn't like that the Switch was doing good on amazon, as if you just woke up one morning and on the spot made a ridiculous conclusion. I don't mind different perspectives, but at least be honest. 

 few people keep saying that i'm downplaying them, i'm not. i never said switch has no games, or the games are not great. i'm just making my predictions for sales, this holiday, and if does well and in jan, feb, and march in NPD, then i'll start believing switch will be able to outsell 3ds.
