Most game engines are good at dealing with a variety of different strength CPU and GPUs.

In any case, the “Nintendo needs ports” argument is a fallacy. People who want those kinds of games will buy a PS4. Nintendo need a different market. Look at XBOne: other than occasional games like Halo it hasn’t found its own thing to differentiate, so (probably randomly) PS4 won this round.

It depends on what Nintendo's concept it.  With the Switch it makes sense for 3rd parties to want their games on the system because they are making these games available portably. That's why you see games like Skyrim being so successful on Switch vs other Nintendo consoles.  The only difficulty is that because the system is weaker it takes a lot of time to port and tweak the games so that they can run on the system and this is making it less attractive to actually port the games over.   Its the perfect system for old ports.  Kind of like the DS back in the day had a lot of good classic games ported to it.
