Remember when the Wii U was aiming for the "core gamer"?

The Switch is really not that underpowered of a system, it has 1/3 the teraflop performance of an XBox One, that's absurdly powerful, a PSP was no where close to 1/3 of a PS3 (and well below even a PS2) and the PSP was looked at a as technological wonder for its time (ditto for Vita, no where close to 1/3 of a PS4, not even PS3 performance).

I agree that the Switch had great performance for a handheld with its battery constrains when it launched.

But why are you comparing the Switch and a 5.5 year older PSVita both to 8th gen home consoles Xbox One/PS4 and the PSP to a 7th gen home console (PS3)?

PSP <-> PS2 and PSVita <-> PS3 would be better comparisons to Switch <-> to XBO/PS4.

The PS Vita also had great performance for a handheld with its battery constrains when it launched.

Yeah Switch is basically what a Vita successor would be.

PSP-between PS1 & PS2

Vita-between PS2 & PS3

Switch-between PS3 & PS4
