Money talks. Trust me, it's the reason why Nintendo is rolling out hardware that is not up to current day standards. You are still gaming 1080p on the Switch for a reason (we've had 4K console gaming for 6 years now) and cant play most current multiplat games. They save a lot on the manufacturing and make a profit, and that's why Nintendo has so much money lol. 

The Switch is more like a 720P console than a 1080P one.

But they had to make *some* concessions in 2017 to make a portable gaming device and hit a price point.

Sure, they could have boosted the DRAM to 8GB, they could have went with Tegra X2 for 50% more performance.. But at what cost?

Selling at a loss like other manufacturer and recouping money with SW, which they sell more than the other 2 platform holder for higher price averaged on the life of each SW and even the system.
