Nintendo intentionally under powers their stuff to cut down on costs in order target the all encompassing "family" demographic. It's like their whole schtick since the Wii (The GameCube was the last time iirc they tried to compete with the Xbox/PS)

This has been their schtick since Game and Watch.

Seriously. They legit called their first console Family Computer.

Technically the Wii U was the most powerful console at the time it released.

But only because it released towards then end of the Xbox 360 / PS3 lifecycle, so it was a very short time period until it was once again severely underpowered compared to Xbox any Playstation
