Pretty much this. I've said elsewhere that if the Switch misses out on a game, it won't be due to power, but the publisher's call. On resolution, I reckon a lot of Nintendo fans would gladly take sub HD in portable mode (which, by the way, still looks great, if you've used the Wii U GamePad for Off-TV Play before), and 720p in home mode (which matters less when you're sat a reasonable distance from your television set, as one should be), so long as it meant that they got all of the X4 non-exclusive titles from "third parties". At least, it would be a far better position than not having the chance to play on their console of choice. I know that wouldn't sit so well with some on here, but honestly, I don't believe that most people care THAT much about resolution differences.
Sub-native resolution on a handheld is a literally the worst. It looks awful and should never be done (outside of emulation and certain retro art styles).
