It's impressive for a portable yes. 

For a console, it's fairly mediocre. 

It depends I guess on what system you want. 

I think it'll be more successful than the WiiU... depends what you mean by "successful", I don't think it will outsell the 3ds.

mediocre why?  I saw that dude playing skyrim remastered, you need some power to run that. Mario looks clean and fresh, we don't have official specs and we don't have the list of games (the most important thing) so mediocre why? 

I'm going to guess they will at least do as well as the 3DS maybe even better if they don't do the first year of the 3DS.

Try playing Fire Emblem on hard mode.

so i have to guess on the price but with my guess in mind:


it should do well in japan. i think it will "flop" in the west. it will certainly outsell the wiiU globally but i think it will sell less than the 3DS but probably not by leaps and bounds. 50 million with japan making a large percentage of those sales is my guess.

I really like it myself, but considering Nintendo's history with third parties, I don't think it's going to enjoy much more than moderate success. I really hope it has good third-party support though.

I agree (not with the foul language) but the switch is a great handheld and is intended to appeal biggest market for games at the moment. 

I haven't owned a portable since the GameBoy colour but I'm interested in this.

Edited for clarity

I've been researching and talking about Tegra/a portable Nintendo system for basically over a year now, well before anyone else. 

There are pros and cons to it, the system is not going to be that powerful, not relative to a XB1/PS4, and certainly not even close to a PS4 Pro/Scorpio. 

There are real world thermal limitations, a system that small simply will overheat/melt at some point and/or the battery will die after 30 minutes. These aren't made up issues, and no Nintendo doesn't have some magic to overcome that. 

Beyond that, to me nothing in that trailer was graphically impressive if we are actually comparing it to modern home consoles. Everything looked possible on the existing Wii U. 

It is mediocre if you're comparing it to a PS4. It's very nice if you're comparing it to a Vita. Depends on what you want from a Nintendo system. 

I think parents will appreciate seeing only one game console on Christmas lists instead of two...
Though I think this does pose a challenge for households with more than one Pokemon trainer...
I would also like to know how this mix of portability and home comfort might affect established series if at all...
And are there still going to be dual screen experiences like Star Fox Zero or will Nintendo leave that in the past???
