It's not impossible that Switch will have competitive online infrastructure, but it's not impossible that a solid gold meteorite will land in your backyard tonight either. It's just extremely unlikely.

actually no it's not. 

I think something we all have to remember is that what we're hearing *confirmed* from developers, people who've seen the switch, and even Nintendo themselves - is that everything is built around ease of use, while also not scaling back the GAME for the sake of the gimmick. 

Developers love developing for the Switch. Nintendo themselves said newer blood in their company developed it. Even if the specs are bad, the fact is that Nintendo is probably developing it a lot like their handheld line, very cheap devices that are fun enough for them to drive prices high up. The specs for the switch are probably disappointing because Nintendo is developing it like a handheld, but everything else - the support for third parties, the love nintendo is getting from third parties, the newer blood developing the hybrid - all much more like a console. 

Back when the Wii U was approaching launch, there was positive buzz about that too, about how easy it was to develop for and such.

I'm not saying all is lost, it could still work out well for the Switch, I'm just saying that it's probably best to keep our expectations in check to avoid disappointments.
