Next gen that difference will be a lot bigger and Nintendo probably will need to launch a more powerful successor to get any support. But that's the thing. If Nintendo wants to stay on the handheld path, it will probably be 3 or 4 years into the next gen console cycle before they can launch a handheld that comes close to these next gen specs. By then, the ps5 especially, will already have like a 60m lead. And while the next gen Switch will no doubt sell great when it does eventually launch, it will never be able to catch up. |
These are basically the same arguments used in 2017 to claim Switch would be DOA; it's too far behind in power, PS4 has too much of a lead...

Switch is not a "whole gen behind" PS4 and Xbone. That would mean it's on par with PS3/360, which it isn't.
