Usage: Published to satisfy European ecodesign regulation rather than to describe the console, which is why it states an electrical rating Nintendo's product pages never give. It rates the adapter, not the machine: Nintendo's companion consoles page reports the Switch drawing 7 W while actively gaming, so this figure describes what the supply can deliver and not what the console takes.
