The Rumoured specs will kill third party support from certain developers/publishers in the long run... soon we'll be at the stage where games barely run on the OG PS4, never mind the Switch.

Bioware, Bethesda, Rockstar. Developers like this won't stick around long if the device only has 4gb of ram as rumoured.

The Switch will definitely get better third party support than the WiiU though, but I certainly expect it to die down after the initial year or two.

And what about the initial concept that future "docks" could boost the at-home play significantly - to keep up with tech growth in a less traumatic way than Sony and Microsoft are doing by introducting entirely pieces of base hardware? 

It seems this first dock just provides power to the tablet, allowing it to run full-speed and kicking on the fans to cool it (as evidenced by the vents on the top of the Switch). Future iterations could supplement RAM, help with upscaling, and even add cores for additional processing - at least in theory.
