@Pedro: The Switch was the console that Nintendo rightfully gave third party hardcore gamers the middle finger with. They appealed to their fans, and that paid off well.
But the Switch has better third party support than the Wii U did
Use context. The Wii U was different from the Switch because they kept the first year of the Wii U empty, so that third party companies can release without competition. One of the ways that the third party hardcore companies made excuses for flopping on the Wii, was saying that Nintendo games are too popular. Funny... Just Dance, Resident Evil, Sonic Colors, Monster Hunter, etc, managed to do well alongside Nintendo's first party releases. Sounds like those third party companies were just mediocre.
With the Switch, Nintendo gave them the middle finger and released the Switch with Zelda BOTW and Super Mario Odyssey. Nintendo serviced their core audience, and it paid off. Of course, the Switch was so successful that third party companies couldn't ignore it.

Is it wrong to just want another powerful Nintendo console. We haven't had one since the GameCube.
I don't think it's wrong to want this. Though it's likely not going to happen. The GameCube was a flop. The Wii was a success and so was the Switch.
