Why would devs back another underpowered Nintendo console?

Lots devs has PS3/360 engines you know. Those can likely easily port to the Switch.

No you cannot easily port PS3 / PS4 / X1 / 360 games. Because they are not running on ARM architecture so you have to completely rewrite huge parts of the engine. And the ultra low power Switch CPU is much slower than these 4 CPU's are. ARM is extremely weak in CPU performance, this is a proven fact and no wonder can change that.

But you can port Android / IOS games because they are already written for ARM.

x86 is easy to port to ARM.

 You just recompile the code.
