I don't think third party titles will push the switch as much when there is a more powerful third party system out there that is extremely popular and will be able to undercut it due to not having a tablet.  Maybe portability will make those more desirable but that's not as much of a draw for people who don't commute plus the mobile games market continues to turn into cell and tablet games.  Switch will continue to get big nintendo software but third parties won't give it the same spike as PS4

I think if the third party titles are exclusives (like with 3DS and DS before it and even Wii a bit), then you may be incorrect in your analysis. It will not be about power when there is only one place to play the game. Nobody cares about the power of Switch when they know the only place to play Shin Megami Tensi 5 is on Switch. Get enough games like that and the case you make will evaporate.

oh if it's exclusive third party stuff then yeah that changes things.  If it's just what's been happening with late ports or simultaneous I don't see it making much difference.  Well it will more commuting parts of the world like Japan, but I don't see third party devs ignoring PS4 when it has a big presence in Japan and everywhere else, can handle more than Switch can, and is easy to port to unlike PS3 was.  A 100m install base is tough to ignore.
