There is an important distinction to be made between Nintendo in the DS and Wii era and the Switch era. They released weak hardware back then so they could sell it for cheap but the Switch line so far has been fairly capable so they were fully opting out of it back in the former period but now are back to opting in with it in terms of handheld gaming which has paid off in a big way. Before the DS and Wii they would release a weak handheld and a capable home console so in terms of power the shift to the Switch is basically them shifting back to that but with the handheld being capable and the home console being weak.
