I agree. I don't want the Switch, but I do want the games on it. If I want to play Xenoblade, I am forced to buy a Switch. 

If that's the case, then you want the Switch.

Yes, I care. People believe that power = graphics. But that's not the case. As BotW had showed us, the Wii U power was used to create a big open world with life.

CPU seems to be pushed a lot with the physics and effects in the game, and with more power they could reach new heighs and create new worlds.

That's why I care about it.

Only as far as Me not being able to play the games anywhere else. Sure.

Isn't wanting to play its games the main reason anyone would want a video game console?

Sure, but thinking there are VERY stupid design choices and having a strong preference against them also exists.

The Switch actually seems to have more power than the Xbox One you know?

Not really.  There are rumors that place it's power all over the place.  Some of the rumors put it above the XBox One, but those are unlikely.

The XONE boasts 1.3 TF compared to the Switch's 1.5...

Link to Switch specs?

You still want it though.  Wanting something doesn't mean you like everything about it.

First off, TF are not necessarily an accurate measurement of power.  Secondly, do you have a source that confirms the Switch is 1.5 TF?

Fair enough, but it's more like a distaste for everything about it except for software.

 

*edit* And even on the software front 3rd party multiplats are not appealing in the slightest.

To me its a no. The Wii U games alreafy looked great and its the games that matters after all! Cant wait for these games to look like a Wii U game: (some uncomfirmed but may get a sequel)
- Animal Crossing
- Fire Emblem
- Pokemon
- Luigi Mansion



Pocky Lover Boy!
