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.

The baseline for those current games is the XBO. When the baseline for next gen games moves to at a 'minimum', 3GHz 8Core Ryzen, 12TFLOPS Navi GPU, 16GB of GDDR5, and SSD Storage, it will not be possible to downgrade them enough. The 3rd party titles that PS4/XBO get after PS5/XB4 release will either be 540p-720p/~30fps versions of the PS5/XB4 titles, or just retreads of previous year games, on old engines.

 The only reason games run at 900p/1080p on XBO and PS4 right now is because they are the target/baseline platforms. Because games have to run at ~1080p/30 on these, it is not that dramatic for Switch to run them at 540p-720p/30. When PS4/XBO are getting unstable 20-30fps games at 540p-720p, the Switch versions would be running at 240p-320p/15-20fps.
