Whats the point? Why not just buy games to play and enjoy?
I couldn't buy a game and not play it let alone but a spare console.

i argue every game ever made before today has terrible IQ because I am judging it with tomorrow's expectation.
What's this obsession with graphic and IQ? What's this obsession about telling people it will look bad when you have not played it?
I accept it will not do 4K like I don't expect my iPhone to do GTA5. I don't moan about my phone's graphic.
He's back...
I wouldn't get too caught up in resolution discussions, internet is full of misconceptions on the subject.
Remember that many PS4 and XboxOne games are 900p (some 720p in the case of the Xbox). Obviously there will be compromises in other areas when comparing to more powerful consoles, but in terms of resolution/IQ things are looking alright for Switch considering it's form factor(portability).
Nice collection eXist!
I'd been thinking of picking up a second Wii U (mainly for the backup GamePad). I'm not a collector but...

have a bunch of digital games too, but mostly indie stuff.
that image pretty much sums up why you should buy a Wii U

It all depends on a persons own standards and expectations.
You used the word 'terrible' without clear context of the above so it came across as subjective, so I just assumed you wouldn't be purchasing a console with 'terrible IQ' - Sorry!.
I'm aware that the spec of the Switch is going to mean compromises when comparing to more powerful systems, but it's out of my control and not a major concern for me.
I could complain about how much worse some games run on consoles compared to PC, but I'm aware of why it's the case so I don't waste my time complaining about these things.

I never said they did, just that 1080 is that old.

But Nintendo has been behind on the tech side for a while, this isn't news.
Like PC peeps can boast about having 4K for a while.
Much as image quality is a factor, for me its not huge in a broad target market.
I rate the wii as thw greatest console for a number of reasons. One is its popularity with traditionally non gamers, my ma bought one.
For her I think the expectation of tablet like functionality will be greater than mine, which is why I think a wii style comeback will be dependant on its ability to at least in part fulfil that expectation.

While 360/PS3 did output a 1080p signal, most games rendered at 720p or below.

It's £50 for Zelda and we are men, we like new toys.

They havent, youre right but you dont get my point I think. It applies to ALL consoles now TBH, in that 1080p should be the standard resolution given how old it is now. Obviously its not important to everyone but I think it should be the standard is all.

It can do 1080p it's just 720p on the go because there is no point doing 1080p when the screen can only display 720p and it's 6" big.

Digital foundry seem to think 900p will be the norm though dont they? Dont get me wrong here though, Its not the be all and end all but I still find myself underwhelmed by it is all

We will find out when the games are out but I've seen a mix, some are 1080p, some are 900p. Just like the XB1 really.

Yeah, very true. We will just have to wait and see. I feel the same about the XB1 as well though to be fair to Nintendo. Not hating on them as I just want the best console they can make given I have one on pre order!
I have the assassins creed with statue as well
But it is still the normal for TV and even the X1 struggles to do games at that. If switch can do 1080p at 60fps then that is brilliant tbh.
It was one of the launch games Nintendo used to showcase how third parties were on board with the Wii U. The rest of the list was Arkham City, Black Ops II, Darksiders II and Mass Effect 3 (FIFA 13 was also present, but it wasn't a big deal).
It's largely why I can't take Nintendo seriously when they claim Skyrim and "FIFA" show that third parties have confidence in the Switch. It says pretty much the opposite to me. Confidence would be a bunch of the best titles the Wii U missed out on being ported. Confidence would be the announcement of a number of upcoming, big budget multiplatform games landing on Switch.
