WTF - Rest in peace... I hope no one has to pay any legal fees. Wish you all the best!

It's basically just an Android tablet with shitty controllers on each side and some proprietary OS. The only thing that makes the Switch special are the exclusive Nintendo games.

You've basically described all gaming consoles lol

The one thing that impresses me about consoles though: How tf do they manage to run even graphics-intensive games on such low-end hardware? I mean sure, frame rates aren't great, but the fact that these games still run and are somehow playable amazes me.

I think it's because they're targeting a very small number of devices as opposed to the infinite number of possible combinations of hardware a computer could have.

Right, that makes sense
