"Nintendo Switch specs appear to have been leaked ahead of the March release date.

And it's bad news for Nintendo Switch pre-order customers, who might be disappointed to find out that the console is less powerful than the Xbox One and PS4.

Still, it might make the Nintendo Switch price a little bit cheaper, although we won't find that out until January at the earliest.

According to a report by VentureBeat, the Nintendo Switch will be powered by Nvidia’s last-generation Maxwell graphics-processing architecture.

The custom Maxwell Tegra is unlikely to match the graphical fidelity of the highest-end PS4 games.

In terms of performance, the Nintendo Switch will reportedly boast 1 teraflop of performance, which is below the Xbox One and PS4, and well below the Xbox One Scorpio and PS4 Pro."

Anyone who thought a tablet was going to be on the same level of performance as a PS4 needed a serious reality check.

With that said, this contradicts other rumors about it using the Pascal architecture. Which is, unfortunately, par for the course with rumors.

Wait a second, it's just a tablet? I thought it was a console and a tablet like the Wii U? I haven't followed up with it much, because I didn't want to spoil it for myself.

The actual unit is just the handheld device. Switch is more that (a handheld) than an actual console.

So basically it's a new iteration of the DS handhelds?
