I waited for a year for this, and here it is: the NX. Er... I mean, the "Switch".

All of the rumors were true, except for that last piece of gossip-- the processing power appears to be 100% in the handheld, and the dock (more like a cradle now that I see it) is just for HDMI out. It also has some kind of adhoc wireless multiplayer, if you happen to know anyone else who even owns one of these gizmos.

And that leads me to: I think this thing will be a total flop, and it will be the end of Nintendo in the hardware business.

Since all of the other rumors were true, then I'm sure the "Tegra X1" leak was accurate too. So once again, it's counting on third parties to develop for underpowered, out-of-generation hardware, and to spend extra cash building in proprietary gimmicks for a platform that no one owns.

And good luck trying to lure the chad gamers they showed in the video-- why in the world would they want one of these instead of their Xbox or PlayStation 4? Nintendo didn't want to unveil this because they thought their competitors would copy it. What aspect of this would Sony or Microsoft want to copy?

The only hope for this thing from a sales standpoint is if Nintendo can market it into a sort of cultural "meme" like the Wii became. Then it can become a "shovelware and indie" platform.
