What does any of that have to do with the power level of the Switch?

And there are mountains of ports from both the 7th and 8th gen on Switch, if it was so difficult or unsustainable there wouldn't be so many.

As for why the others don't do it, they simply don't need to. Xbox's solution is streaming, and Sony learned from the Vita that trying to support two platforms at once wasn't a viable endeavour once games get to 6th gen and beyond at the low end, plus they already dominate the dedicated console market so there's no need to expend resources trying to compete with Nintendo for the handheld space.

It doesn't have much to do with it, which is why I didn't focus on it. That's a separate point.

Them not having to make handhelds was part of the explanation. Along with how a Switch like device wouldn't be the same as past SNY handhelds where there were two separate platforms to deal with instead of one platform and multiple devices sharing games.

There are also plenty of games that haven't been ported, and games that seemingly should have been ported long ago, so why haven't they? Likely the same reason (partly) why SNY and MS haven't. Just because you can or could, doesn't mean you will or should.

That still has nothing do to with what I posted. The only point of my post was the misconception that Switch is on par or even weaker than PS3/360.
