Docking a handheld device into a docking tray for 1080p clearly means their trying hard to appease couch gamers and on the go gamers, that is where Nintendo's power house console comes in, and that's when Nintendo's hand held goes out.
People are now wondering what the true purpose of a docking station (apart from charging and boasting 1080p.)is when switch is predominantly designed for the go, when in reality it's Wii u with a pair of scissors.
All Nintendo had to do is build a freaking power house Wii u 2 like they did with game cube (and their weird fettish with unusable controllers. Not you n64 your okay I guess.) as ps2 even struggled to offer higher textures and resolution in resident evil 4 smoothly, game cube nailed it until hikkomori started to appear in Japan resulting in Wii.
Offera white or black box, add four ports on it. Add switch docked at the rear boosting 8 players and allowing you to control switch as a remote via the milk chucks for Netflix or media as other peripherals charge.
The specs could be: a Amd apu 8gig of ram, 500gig hdd and the switch would dock at the rear or back charging and adding extra 8 player connections while giving Nintendo the choice to sell Wii chucks, milk chucks, controllers, and what ever they want allowing young and old to enjoy both to their liking.
But no they focused on what Japan wanted first then branched out.
Kojimas left konami due to their tyranny towards mobile and arcade but that's a different story.
What ever specs they decided Nintendo they didn't learn from The Wii u and that worries investors.
Their trying to compete with apple Nintendo, they do not believe their games can deliver it seems.
Nintendo wants you to believe in their philosophy in hardware development not enjoying games it seems.
I have no idea what Todd howard from Bethesda was bragging about when he spotted the Dev kit on switch wasn't sure if he was smirking or sarcasm.
@Iconoclysm: It can't same with Moore's law, CPU can only get so small, but Nintendo have done a 180 going backwards.
There is absolutely no reason for Nintendo to undercut their product, if they went out and made it:
2k
500gig
Amd apu
8gig of ram
------------
And believed in their hardware to push their system(while incorporating some mobile device later on, not risking their entire flagship product with limited games on inferior hardware at a higher price that seems so obscenely unusual, especially on how well the ps4 pro priced towards the switch, and if Scorpio brings in a bargain deal including free vr headsets with wireless teathering then that's great for the consumer.)
Even nintendo shares had taken a slight hit after the review, people will buy the switch how many no clue, but they made a gamble and now the roulette tables waiting for a number.
That's crazy, 32gig 6"2inch screen, only out puts 720p or 1080p docked for 299$ (please Nintendo follow Sega's path you lost, you were now it's a great time to give up the hardware and move to software because you forgot to realise it's 2017.)
Google's pixel has a 821snapdragon with nvidea maxel GPU, and guess what 2017 phones are moving to augment reality camera and 6-8gig ram, most at Ces had over 4000mah of battery, running in 2k.
Microsoft's bringing out vr headsets for $299 as base minimum upwards, so why would I want a 6"2in screen at $300 USD or $460 Canadian dollars or Australian dollars, oh yeah for the games.
But where they fail in game development you fail in hardware. Clearly you need help.

The snapdragon 821 isn't fair comparison due to its cost exceeding $1000 in some phones.
++++++++
A xiomai mi max, snapdragon 652 8 cores clocked at 1.8, 64gig 6"4inch screen, 9mm thin, 3,0 quick charge, 4g LTE, 128 external card slot, duel sim, 4850mah battery all for $240 and plays all Nintendo emulated products that Nintendo hates, and supports fiit vr headset for $20 and blu tooth it via a controller via cardboard app. (Works great on psp android.)
(Omg trolls paradise Nintendo have opened, modders will reengineer the UNIX system different to android or pc. While UNIX is a bit different to Linux and android it can be done.)
Sorry Japan get lost the mobile futures here, phones will annihilate that product just like pc did in 2004 after voodoo GPU went belly up.
Vr mobile is the future not Nintendo dying switch. (You had your fun, no offense to those interested in the product if you enjoy it I'm happy, but at a ethical approach to Nintendo get lost.)
