PS4 struggling to run BB and The last Guardian on levels far worst than Botw on Switch is apparently not an argument, I don't see it being a problem for Switch either.

He actually has a point.

Switch can run PS4/Xb1 games that run 1080/60 fps, and do it at lower resolution and 30fps.
Other more typical games, the switch just doesnt run at all, its only the less demanding ones where they can cut fps, that they port.

By the time PS5/XB2 comes out, getting ports will be a HUGE issue for the switch.
That could limit its lifetime as he said, by then you ll have a Switch 2 ready.

Basically switch probably wont have a long life ahead of it, it ll get a updated model... a Switch 2.0, thats backwards compatable.... and able to handle certain ports of the PS5/XB2.  *IF* This doesnt happend, the alternative is the Switch just stops getting ports, and then does what the Wii did, it falls off a cliff.

The switch can run ps4 games with the same framerate, downgrades are only required in resolution and graphics. There are no games that wouldn't run at all on the switch. When ps5 arrives in 2019, most of it's games will be cross gen early on and the switch won't have any problem getting those. By the time more games start taking advantage os ps5 power, it will be 2021 already and the switch successor will release.

Switch won't be getting any 2.0 model as you describe,  only a proper successor.

For the topic, x1 sales are 60% from US so not much of a surprise it got second place.
