Was the Switch designed to Last?

Resolution Gate when the Xbox One and Playstation 4 tells a little bit of a different story.

If you had an Xbox One X and a Switch sitting side-by-side, then the Switch's hardware will become readily apparent of how limiting it truly is... And that will influence some purchases. - The Switch's mobility will influence other purchasers... Not all consumers have the same need/want/desires as everyone else remember.

Shit. The PC has an entire community devoted to the quest of more power and more graphics... And another community devoted to making the latest games run on the crappiest of hardware, irregardless of visual fidelity.

Outside the Internet gaming forum bubble, most consumers really don't give a shit about having the latest and greatest hardware power in a console these days. There's still tons of people who are just fine with buying a base PS4/Xbox One over their Pro counterparts. I agree that there is still a market for high end gaming hardware, but the success of the Switch with both consumers and developers shows just how little hardware power actually matters these days in the grand scheme of things.
