I think that power level will be a huge factor.  If the system is not on par with PS4 / XBox One, then it will be much harder for 3rd parties to port games to the Switch.  If that happens, you will have software droughts, which would lead to less sales, and a repeat of what happened with Wii U.

Rumours suggest it is not that far off from the Xbox One. Betheseda who stated that they will only support the Switch if it is as powerful as the Xbox One are supposedly supporting it. A bunch of devs have also expressed interest in the NS. There will probably also be waaaaaaaaaay more first parties releasing on the console because Nintendo's resources are combined now So far it looks good. I guess we will just have to find out.

There are rumours that the NS only has 4 GB of RAM, compared to 8 GB on other consoles, which may be a problem.  The port of Skyrim could be something that Nintendo sponsored, so it could be a 1 time deal.  We won't know until January what games are actually available, since it seems Nintendo wants to keep everything secret until then.
