See I just see them as good for different things. My Wii and WiiU are for when friends come over and we play BeerKart and the PS4 is for movies and solo gaming. Xbox gets dusted off when I'm in the mood to play Fable.

Batteries? It's rechargeable. It will only have one.
Processing power is my biggest concern. Although, if it can run the Skyrim remaster, it should be comparable at least to a PS4/Xbox One. Having that kind of power on the go is awfully tempting.

Good point. Hopefully those are rechargeable, too. They're pretty damn small, so I'm not sure how you could cram some AA's in them.

If it's not, Nintendo will have dropped the ball, but they're usually pretty good at learning from their mistakes.

The Nintendo Switch’s gaming experience is also supported by fully custom software, including a revamped physics engine, new libraries, advanced game tools and libraries. NVIDIA additionally created new gaming APIs to fully harness this performance. The newest API, NVN, was built specifically to bring lightweight, fast gaming to the masses.
Gameplay is further enhanced by hardware-accelerated video playback and custom software for audio effects and rendering.
We’ve optimized the full suite of hardware and software for gaming and mobile use cases. This includes custom operating system integration with the GPU to increase both performance and efficiency.
