Switch: How Big Will Its 9th Gen Lead Be?

As soon as you start thinking of the Switch as a home system it looks so awful. It's hardly moved on from the wii u in power which is getting on 5 years ago and that couldn't even match the power of consoles that came out about 6 years before that. I don't think it's in Nintendo's interests to call it a home console. It seems much more appealing as a powerful portable system rather than a horrifically weak home console. As soon as you say home console you start comparing it to ps4 and xbone and that is hugely damaging as it can't even get close to their performance level and actually costs a fair bit more.

You only have to see the Switch's primitive graphics which are struggling to get to 1080p native when docked. The wii was more competitive with the 360/ps3 than the Switch is with xbone/ps4.

But that's not the question I'm asking. Regardless of how powerful it is compared to the two other companies, how many Switches will have sold before Sony and Microsoft enter the 9th gen?
