Hmm, I haven't heard the 3rd one. Where did that come from?

A user on here (forgot who) said Nintendo is clearly going third party because of this, and made a post saying this will hurt the Switch

If Nintendo could make a console that was more powerful than Xbox One X, sell it for $300.00 and still make the same great games they're making right now? It's hard to argue that they wouldn't clean house because you're covering all the bases. Right now, they've got a good thing going but just imagine if all the latest AAA third party games were on it as well. It would be the console to end all consoles.

The Gamecube was a powerful console, but look at what happened.

 

The Switch simply appeals to who Nintendo's audience is. People like their games on the go.

The Gamecube didn't use DVD-9 discs like the PS2 and Xbox and it also didn't have a full second analog stick. Games like GTA 3 would have been nearly impossible. That argument (Gamecube was powerful and it failed) has always been a total fail and it needs to stop being used. Power was not what killed the Gamecube. Limited media did it in.
