I flew too close to the 1TF sun and my Switch wings melted.

Switch is very unlikely to get strong multiplatform support though. It's not like the PS2 to PS4/Xbone's GCN/Xbox, more like the Vita to the PS3/360. Morew to the point though, Nintendo gamers just don't buy multiplatform games in enough numbers to justify them.

I'm not saying it is very likely to get strong multiplatform support. I'm saying that if it does, power won't be a factor in its success or failure.

As for audience, that's maliable. Before the Wii, "Nintendo gamers" weren't soccer moms and senior citizens. It only takes one product to completely change the type of audience you bring in, and it would be just as easy as it was with the Wii to change Nintendo's audience to the type of people who would buy multiplatform games. They would need to do things drastically different than they did with the Wii and Wii U, but it wouldn't be this insurmountable task.

The gamers who play multiplatform games have little reason to buy them on Switch when PS4/Xbone offer the same games with better graphics, better online infrastructure, thriving userbases, and most of their friends.
