Why the Nintendo Switch's hardware specs don't worry me

Personally to be honest, I think this is so far removed from the idea of a traditional console that Nintendo could actually also support the XBox or Playstation brands (much like they now support iOS and Android with software) if they really wanted to.

Switch is basically the continuation of the Nintendo portable heritage with the bonus option of being able to play on a TV.

Nintendo's console lineage kinda dies with the Wii U I feel. They tried I guess, but 3/4 console generations ranging from dissapointment to flat out disaster ... was probably too much. Too many mistakes made, and the market has been transferred to Sony/MS entirely (home console gaming) pretty much. 

The reasoning could go both ways: one could reason Nintendo's handheld lineage dies with the Switch since handheld gaming seems to be consumed more and more by smart phone games.
