@Grey_Eyed_Elf: the switch has more power under the hood then wiiu it's close to the original Xbox one
No not even close to a X1 when undocked.
Even when the Switch is docked it barely pushes 0.7Tflops and has 3.25GB RAM at 25GB's... Compared to a 1.31Tflop Xbox One with 5GB RAM at 170GB's... Its not close at all. The X1 is twich as powerful as a Switch when docked and 4 times as powerful when undocked.
Calling that close is like saying a GTX 1050 is close to the performance of a GTX 1080.
Isnt that an indication and a proof of my point ? Or because there will be ( somewhere out there ) some people ( if there are any which really doubt that )
I'm the furthest thing from a Nintendo defender, but there are definitely people out there who had the Wii U as their only console. I still feel most non hardcore console gamers just pick one console per gen, and as little as the Wii U sold, I'd say a lot of them were kids whose parents bought it for them, I think for a lot of those Wii U owners it was their only console. I think some of the older Nintendo diehards had it just for the 1st party stuff, and they had other platforms.

I think Nintendo is sticking to their guns. They revealed WiiU with the promise of getting the 3rd party support they were missing. I remember Arkham City armored, ME3, AC being shown at the press event. It got COD BLOPS2 the year it came out.
But they waited too long. It was 2012, most people knew the next gen of PS and Xbox were coming soon and WiiU would be left behind. So Nintendo is going to do their thing. And it makes them money. It will sell more than WiiU but it wont sell Wii numbers imo. It'll get a few 3rd party games and its stellar first party stuff. If Nintendo ever really want to court the latest and best 3rd party AAA stuff, they need to make a system that is comparable to their competitors. I don't think Nintendo wants to do so.
