I ' m on a train and had to wait minutes for this to load with my shit signal . I am upset . <| sep |> I agree with you for most of this , but the power part . the Switch has to be AT LEAST as fast as the WiiU or it will fail . Despite how cool the portable aspect is the third party support simply will not be there if it isn ' t within a reasonable shot of the PS 4 Xbox One power range . The developers won ' t be dumbing down their games to suit an underpowered portable and that will put the switch down the same road as the WiiU . It would absolutely be a mistake on Nintendo ' s part to not be shooting for power parity with the current gen consoles it will be competing with . Also it needs a touchscreen . This thing is in effect a Nintendo tablet , without the touchscreen they are giving away a TON of features that they could implement that will really help it sell . People are used to touchscreen devices now , they are basically a necessity in a device like this .
