I got to say, if that dock isn't some sort of supplemental computing device then I have a hard time seeing the NS succeed. It seems like it's going to be too expensive for casuals and people who prefer handhelds while being too weak (if that dock doesn't add any power) to satisfy core gamers. It looks more like a tablet gaming system that's trying to be a handheld and a console at the same time -- like a jack of all trades, master of none; does a little bit of everything but not enough to satisfy anyone.

It wont be on when you dock it. What does it matter?

Its dosent have an extra GPU there, Nintendo (kinda) confirmed it.They said that the main function of the dock is to connect to the TV and to charge the portable unit.And while they didnt deny the extra GPU, the lack of mention kinda proves there isnt.The source is in IGN, a article they also confirm Amiibo support for Switch(duh).(cant give link because Im on mobile)

damn...so it's a Nintendo branded Nvidia shield with tv-out capabilities and a controller gimmick that's already being used by other tablet devices.  If I had the mental energy, I'd post that 'Hercules: The Legendary Journeys' clip where Kevin Sorbo is yelling "disappointed!".

That's unfortunate because as a handheld I really like the idea but as a home console I find it disappointing.

It clearly is and what they're doing now is essentially merge both they're income streams which is really risky. If the Switch doesn't sell like hotcakes for them then its wraps.

Why is this important honestly? Is only words, the fact is that can be used as both.

Now that Nintendo gives you options, I guess options are bad. 

Well it is a traditional console if you want it to be. I dont see the problem.

Yeah, and my dog is first and foremost a horse...

I don't see what's wrong with saying it's both, as if being a handheld as well is considered bad. It looks to have the power of a home console system, and you can take it with you anywhere. That sounds like a key strength to me.
