    This Wii U comparison blew my mind a little (hardware sizes)

    I find myself regretting not buying a Wii U but I'm not willing to pay the money for it now that it's officially a dead machine. I think Mario Maker will be on the Switch within 18 months and maybe we will even get a Bayonetta 2 port. Anyway I know the Switch is small but this really surprised me!

    To be fair, there's a metric shit-ton of wasted space on the WiiU's PCB.

    Why would you compare the tablet (screen) size to the console? Wouldn't a comparison between the two tablets be more appropriate?

    Shouldn't the Wii U be compared to the Switch while in the dock since that is the space requirement needed to play it on a tv? It doesn't even have the joycons attached to it in this. Seems like a pointless comparison as is.

    Because the Switch tablet IS the console

    Not really, it's comparing the system's internals
