As you can see , the X1 is very underpowered . It has the same memory bandwidth as Intel HD 530 (Skylake) : 25.6GB/sec . In fact , it's on par with Intel HD 530 in benchmark (you can find info on notebookcheck.net)
PS4's iGPU is somewhat similar to AMD HD 7870 . The normal version has 176GB/sec memory bandwidth , the pro version has 218GB/sec

The NX will beat the PS3 and Xbox360 (21.6 GB/sec ~ 22.4 GB/sec) but the PS4 and Xbox One will kill it for sure

Personally i loved it. I skipped wiiu but this i won't, i also have to move due to work and a good handheld with console capabilities is ideal for me, being able to play with friends is the icying on the cake. Also it came to mind that it is powerful enough to run dolphin!

@Garteal - I get the feeling Nintendo is going to make very, very certain this isn't another Wii U. Commercially, the Wii U was (technically still is) underperforming. As a fan of Nintendo since the NES, I can honestly say they didn't put their best foot forward. It didn't even feel like they were trying. They're in a pinch, so they're bound to do anything to make the library worthwhile, or at least make it something the Wii U never even came close to.

It's probably important to note that this is likely the end of Nintendo's dedicated portables for the foreseeable future, and those have always had huge libraries. Anything that would have been on the 3DS is probably fair game fo the Switch (Fire Emblem, Persona, Shin Megami, Prof Layton, Ace Attorney, and freaking POKEMON!!!) Personally, an HD Pokemon game after Sun/Moon would be incredible.

You had me at Fire Emblem! I really want another console Fire Emblem, I loved PoR and RD so much.

So now they are making an improved Wii U where you hide away the screen pad in a box and don't use it?

Seriously, All day I haven't even been thinking about the games at all! Nintendo handhelds almost never do badly, they've dominated that market ever since they basically invented it. If this thing takes off, I don't see anything that could directly compete with it. You might be able to play Skyrim remastered with slightly better graphics on an Xbone or PS4, but can you play it on the go? No. That is something that would definitely encourage people to buy the "technically inferior" version of the game. Genius. Tongue

Spoiler: (Show Spoiler)

My plans of getting a PS4 pro have been delayed... indefinitely...

I'm really quite excited about this! I think I'm going to preorder this one and get it on day one, something I haven't done since the GBA. Well, I got my n3DS the day after launch, so doesn't quite count.

The only console I have ever gotten day 1 was my n3dsxl mm edition :O (had to stand out in the cold Sad

). I don't think I get it day one just because it costs money...

List of Consoles I've gotten on day one:

3DS
Wii U
New 3DS

Hmmm... That's actually less than I thought D:

I remember the Xbox One gave people an achievement for buying day one. That still remains one of the most hilariously pathetic things I've seen a console do. XD

Edit: Forgot about the original DS (The fat one)

Oh wow, now that you mention it, the GBA was my only Day One handheld/console purchase, like ever. I'm real excited about this too. Definitely gonna make sure I get this as soon as it comes out. March is really just around the corner.

Still thinking about all the awesome portable franchises that could come to the Switch. Freaking Golden Sun 4 needs to happen. Now. Another Advance Wars too. And F-Zero needs to come back!
