Switch isn't going to just outsell "powerful consoles" it's going to outsell every console. All of them. Every single one. 

You don't get the appeal, but that's not very surprising, you're not in touch with the actual market. 

You're also misguided about the Switch as a hardware, it's not that weak for when it launched, I must've missed the memo when Game Boy Advance was 1/4th of a Playstation 2 or something and could run 3D games and handle ports of actual PS2 games. Switch 1 and Switch 2 will be very different from the Game Boy/DS/3DS lineage of systems. 

What does switch out selling every console mean not much except that Nintendo hit gold with the switch. Remember if you combine ninetndo hamdhelds with ninetndo home consoles they have been out selling home consoles for multiple generations.

Switch for a home console was weak for hybrid it was fine but it was a generation behind ps4  graphically. 

It's not a generation behind the PS4, if it was a generation behind it wouldn't be able to run PS4 games like DOOM, DOOM Eternal, Dragon Quest XI, Witcher 3, Nier, Diablo III, Persona 5, NBA 2K, FC Soccer, and a whole host of other games. 

If you double the horsepower of a Switch it would be able to comfortably run basically any PS4 game without much fuss even as is it ended up with quite a few PS4 ports. If you double a DS or Wii or something ... do you get a machine that can run like PS3 games? Not even fucking close. 

Switch is its own thing to the hardware industry, you don't seem to be able to wrap your mind around it and need to classify it with products like previous handhelds, which it doesn't really belong to.
