So his argument is basically what ppl were saying the Vita was going to be/ should have been?

cute

Vita just didn't have enough hardware grunt, it still got bite size versions of Playstation franchises. People want something bigger than that, Switch delivers that with a far superior chip. If Breath of the Wild on Switch was a slashed down/mini version with like PS2++ graphics it wouldn't be selling nearly as well. 

Idk, PSP in 2005 & Vita in 2011 are probably close to the equivalent of Switch in 2017 in terms of hardware grunt. PSP was like right in between PS1 & PS2, Vita between PS2 & PS3 and Switch between PS3 & PS4.

The main difference is the split in software support. Switch will be the sole Nintendo platform going forward (once 3DS sales & support dries up in the next year or so) and will see the support of 3DS & Wii U (and likely Vita) consolidated into a single unified ecosystem.
