It tells us plenty. It means the Switch can receive ports of high end current gen games. As I said later in the post, neither the Wii or Wii U could do that. The Wii could not run any version of Demons Souls, the Wii U was far to weak to receive any direct ports of Xbox One or Ps4 games. So the fact that the Switch can says a lot about capability. Sure, we don't know what sacrifices they had to make, but anyone who is expecting anything less than a notable visual downgrade is fooling themselves. But at the very least, for the first time since GameCube, Nintendo might actually be getting direct ports from competitors consoles.

You could get Dark Souls 3 running on the PS3 and 360 if you really wanted to. Hell, last gen Treyarch got Modern Warfare 3 running on Wii.
It's less a question of power and more a question of whether sales justify conversion costs.

You're probably right.
If an XBox 360 for example had a 500 GFLOP Tegra processor (so likely about 2.5x the GFLOP performance) and 3GB of RAM (6x the memory), plus the more modern architecture ... there probably would be a lot more PS4/XB1 ports, but there are already are things like MGSV and Far Cry 4 and what not.
