I'm like you. I never fell for the no man's sky hype (waiting for it to be under $20 on sale) and I'll not fall for the Switch hype either.

Nintendo for a long time now has been well behind the competition in terms of the power inside it's console. Why would that change now.

 

Well, even though I totally knew better, I started to believe the 1 TF stuff. At least the Switch will be a fully portable Wii U level machine. That's cool. But as underclocked as it is, it should sell for no more than $199 with a game, $149 without a game.

   

Hey! They got SONY on my amiibo! Wait a minute. Two great gaming tastes that game great together!

I wonder will they ever come back and build a ground breaking home console. The Gamecube was their last console to do it.

Nintendo fans can always hope. I'm still getting Switch day one.

I think those days are over. 

Nintendo will continue to make portable centric hardware like Switch as long as there's a market for it, but basically this is a way for them to exit the console business while still being able to keep a few toes in the water. 

Nintendo's console division, aside from a tremendous 4 year stretch with the Wii's early/mid days, has been a trainwreck for the better part of 20 years. 

If you had told me 20 years ago as a big Nintendo fan with a brand new N64 that this is how the next 20 years would go for Nintendo consoles, I wouldn't believe you. 

Just can't run a division so incompetently and think it was going to run that way forever without major changes.

My wings aren't melted, Switch still is the most powerful handheld console of all time according to the rumors. So I'm not dissapointed obviously.

About 3 times the power of the Vita.

150+ Gflops (neogaf) when not docked, abit under what the Wii U is.

Its decent as a handheld.

As a home console I was hopeing for abit more "oompf" to it.

Yeah, I expected a handheld, so I'm not disappointed. And it's not only the power that says to me Nintendo thought that as a handheld.

Maybe i am wrong and its wishfull thinking. In that case id be very sad :( . Still, ill wait



Nintendo consoles have Nintendo GAMES on them. I know that this is a very strange, alien concept, but I'm actually fine with that. I just want Nintendo games. If I need power, I turn to my PC.

I've got a call here from 2012. They're asking for their specs back.



I've yet to be burned, namely since I have relatively floored expectations... Entailing I am bloody pissed at the industry...

Cruel, and also pretty accurate. Unfortunately.
