Well, concerns are legit. I can't care less about power, but for some people expecting a similar console than XOne or PS4 in terms of power and support, those rumours are discouraging to say the least.

Personally I expected a portable WiiU, which is an awesome 3DS jump in terms of power, and a vitaminated WiiU while docked. That's what I got. We still have that SCD patent, let's see if Nintendo uses it.

Beacuse most people are sheeps when it comes to power... if power is everything then I guess poeple cant play games released before 2010 anymore

The Switch is weaker than first thought, why wouldn't they be freaking out xD

Do you remember when Nintendo went out of their way to shout about third party support on the wiiu before it was released?
How did that pan out?

Switch is launching in a time where handheld sales are dwindling, PS4 will be at 52+m, Xbox one at 28+m, and mobile / tablet gamers who may have been tempted in the past are now satisfied with Nintendo progressively giving more attention to the mobile market.

Switch is going to flop, potentially even harder than the WiiU.
It's fine if you disagree, after all opinions are opinions, but all signs point to third party support falling off a cliff within months of release, sales after initial launch spike being sub par and lots of unhappy people due to the budget components used.

Combine that with the market manipulation being carried out by Nintendo currently to remove Nintendo-provided stock of the WiiU from retailers, causing third party stock to increase in price and force potential customers to go with the Switch instead and what you end up with is only the most devout of Nintendo fans marching out on launch week to pick one up, then a veritable retail tumbleweed of a first year. 

I also find it laughable that the same sort of people who were falling for old rumours of Nx being more powerful than the Xbox one and PS4 , and relishing the idea of having the fastest console, are now the same sort of people waving the "specs mean nothing only idiots care about specs" stick.

Because it's like a deja vu all over again: less powerfull hardware means no 3rd-party support. The drought will be filled with shovelware etc...

My worry is that people in the west, will see this as a handheld with a tv output option.
People in japan will see it as a handheld cuz thats what they want.

Handhelds dont sell at 249-299$ prices.

If Nitnendo want to grow their user base, they need to launch it at 199$.
Which I just dont see nintendo doing.... they love huge profits on hardware sales.

Someone posted this elsewhere online, and I thought it was extremely well thought-out and reasonable, in spite of all of the people ringing the fire bell about Switch not having PS4 specs, (even though we've all known this for months):

"For me, barring an absolute miracle gimmick, there is no real chance of Nintendo being moderately successful in the home console market, so a system of this style is 100% the right choice for them.

The Switch may be bigger than the usual portable Nintendo systems but things have changed and people are now used to carrying tablets and smaller slimmer laptops around with them. To be honest, I even carried my 3DS in a bag with me if I went away rather than have this huge bulge in my pocket.

All Nintendo can do now is focus on just the one system. Rather than make Mario Kart 7 for the 3DS and Mario Kart 8 for the Wii U, they can now make just one Mario Kart game and use the spare time and resources to make a completely different game instead.

So as well as getting more games from Nintendo themselves, we should also be getting the best of their portable and home console games. So Pokemon in HD and playable on the TV, as well as a huge new Zelda adventure.

This system will potentially have Nintendo's best ever software library in that regard. Kinda sad I won't be playing a Metroid game with graphics on par with the new Doom game though."

with both handheld and home console dev teams from Nintendo working on this they might have enough game output to compensate for a lack of western 3rd party development, but it could be fatal if many japanese 3rd parties went from 3DS to iOS/Android

to make the Switch a viable platform for development they really have to push it into the market hard and I hope they do that with a very good launch line-up and a low price right out the gate

that they missed the 2016 holiday season and Pokémon Sun/Moon release (Switch should have launched at that point with a clearly superior version of the game) is pretty unfortunate imo

Its already doing that.... most people dont buy it actually is one.

That's false, the only marketing they gave to this thing was showing it like a clear hybrid, both in the reveal trailer and in the Jimmy Fallon show, an obvious hybrid, you can use it as you want, whatever else they say in a report only people in forums would read is irrelevant, is clear that they are marketing it like both.
