Regarding Switch third party support: Developers don't care about power

You honestly think third parties wouldn't want another successful console they could release their games on? You think Bethesda wouldn't port Fallout 4 to Switch if it was powerful enough? Where is your head at?

Bethesda isn't really "big".  EA, Activision and Ubisoft are "big".  They release several big budget titles every year.  Don't expect them to release their biggest budget titles for the Switch when they get released for the PS4 and XB1.  They could do it if they wanted to, but they just don't want to.  For example, Madden has been on platforms much weaker than the Switch for years and years.    It would be ridiculously easy for them to release Madden on Switch if they wanted to.  They just don't want to.

I agree, but Madden is a bad example. Madden is EA, and EA and Nintendo are special somehow. I never really saw a good support by EA in recent generations. But Ubisoft and Activision are more neutral to Nintendo (Ubisoft even somewhat positive), and they release some bigger stuff - but by far not all. For instance Ubi has Just Dance, Steep and Mario+Rabbids for Switch, but not Ass Creed. I think porting cost vs. expected sales make this a too hard decision. It might or might not change with a bigger userbase.
