Well I guess it's a good thing the Switch is coming out when it is, then. It gives devs time to enter the initial wave before they start working on actively gimping their games on the less powerful systems and, as Kimishima actually stated in one of the interviews I read, the fate of the Switch should be at least somewhat obvious by the time the first year comes and goes.Being required to make sure the game runs on base PS4/Xbox One, doesn't mean it's required to run well on them. It's very possible that you'll have games that run at 60fps on the upgraded systems, but only 30fps on the base, or lower draw distance, muddier visuals. It's not going to happen the moment the upgraded consoles come out, but it will happen eventually. You're not going to give devs more power and not expect them to take full advantage of.
Sure it has to run on base, but it's not running at the same perfomance, and the Switch is weaker than the PS4/Xbox One, and even weaker when it's portable. That is a lot of stuff devs have to be mindful of and that makes the Switch unnattractive, for now. If it turns out to be a money maker, then there's less issues.
