I mean I am looking at the games and this is absolutely not Wii U level power in the system.  I don't know where on the spectrum it falls but it is definitely a marked improvement in abilities over the Wii U.  We'll have to wait for someone to disect it though.  

The battery life also clues me in that while the system can and will throttle out of the dock, it doesn't throttle a fixed degree.  Hence the huge battery life gap:  when a game allows it to throttle down a lot, the Switch gets pretty good battery life for it's size and feature set.  When the game demands it stay running pretty high, the battery life predictably takes a dive.

The price will come down with time so people interested can get it sooner or later.

Welp I did buy the 3DS for Zelda and I was going to buy the WiiU for Zelda (which later became Breath of Wild). I am looking for another console since MS just can't deliver. Mario looks promising, I would play Zeno and that Atlus game and if the new Metroid turns out great I would be interested despite not liking the design or concept. I will see how things go by next fall. Mario and Zelda did give me some of that old Nintendo magic that has been missing. If they get anything right it is their core franchises and both has improvements since the GameCube days (which I also bought).

Really impressed with the hardware. Disappointed that only one launch title was confirmed.

I can See people not buying the Switch until online cost and features are revealed. They need to give more info on this before launch if they want good early sales.

Probably, but they'll have to work hard in keeping people interested in the system. If they manage to do that is not an issue.

And, well, it's a day one for me because of Zelda. 

Welp, I was right to not be excited. Probably getting a PS4 this year.

Huh. System wide voice chat. Well I'll be darned.

Wait so this is real?
