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.

There are a going to be a good amount of Japanese games that will be Switch third party exclusives.  These games would normally end up on a system like the 3DS or Vita.  This time around they will end up as Switch exclusives.  A good example is Octopath Traveler.  This team made Bravely Default on the 3DS, so they made Octopath Traveler as a Switch exclusive.
