I know, which is why i said it was debatable rather than that you're wrong. We can't be certain of anything, but it's not unreasonable to assume the PS5 could release in the next 5~ years (i'm personally expecting to see it late 2019/early 2020). Even if there is a Switch Pro, we can still compare the original Switch to the PS5, just as many currently compare the standard Switch to the standard PS4 and X1. Your claim related to the current Switch vs its competitors, which could include a PS5 and more. A Switch Pro is a separate variable to that statement.

And that why we can comparing it with only availible consoles at time, we cant know if we will compare Switch with PS5 or how much strong PS5 will be, so we cant say that "Switch is the weakest major home console ever compared to its competitors" when clear fact is that is Wii (at least for now).

The Switch's main competition is going to be the PS5 and, possibly, XB2.  Sure, we probably have 2 more years til the PS5 launches, but that doesn't change who its competition is going to be.  Just like the Wii U launching 1 year ahead of the PS4/XBO didn't change who its main competition was.  So, if the PS5 uses a slightly weaker version of a Vega 10, which I think is what they will do, we are looking at 11-12 Tflops vs .4 Tflops.  That's much larger than the gap between the Wii and the PS3 and the Wii U and the PS4.

The only way the Switch is not going to mainly be competing with the PS5 is if sales are so bad that Nintendo pulls the plug and tries the HW biz out one more time.  I don't think you want to hope for that, though.  Cause if that happens and then their next console flops, as well, Nintendo is going 3rd party.  At least sticking with mobile gaming, which would be a freaking sad place for them to end up.
