Nintendo has shown they have no interest in making real console hardware

Ah yes, the no true Scotsman argument.

Nintendo doesn't make hardware to compete with Sony and Microsoft, despite having the best selling console hardware all-time, among the current generation, and among several previous generations.

You don't have to be a graphical powerhouse to compete with PlayStation and Xbox...

Nintendo is not competing with Microsoft or Sony, and that's why they can sell more.

People arent choosing between Xbox, PlayStation, or Switch. Theyre choosing between Xbox or PlayStation, and also buying a Switch. That is not competition.
