There is one big thing you guys are forgetting about that will threaten the Switch quite a bit. The next Xbox and PS5, Switch can't hope to run the games that will be made for the enxt gen, itll be a WiiU scenario again from third party suport perspective whent hat happens. I believe Switch is good enought on its own to have some exclusive third party titles and Nint games are great but I think theres a cealling to its growth that is directly dependant on how soon the next generation starts.

Yes it can.

Just look at how games in 4K still struggle with Ultra settings on PC, and yet also run at least on an XBO. Next gen won't be quite as powerful as a high-end PCs of today (I expect something with similar performance to a Vega 56 + Ryzen 5 2600 combo, more than that will probably heat up too much even in 7nm) and still the current gen will continue to get fed the same games as the next gen for a couple years at the very least, and by extension so can the Switch - especially if it gets an upgrade down the road which would bring it close to XBO performance.

Vega 56, is better than a stock Geforce 1070, at 4k.
if your okay with just stable 30+ fps, theres alot of current games you can run at 4k with Very-high / Ultra settings with that on a pc.

With a console, where overhead is lowered and things can be better optimised...
something like that would be better than most people's gameing PC (except for those very high end builds).

^ this is with early drivers for the Vega (launch review, vs kinda matured nvidia drivers)
Real world performance today is probably much better for the vega.
