Portable hardware technology is not there yet to make Switch as powerful as a PS4 especially if its $500 or less. Its proably less than half the power of an XB1.

It should be close enough to turn off a few effects and make the game playable.

All I'm saying is that the point is moot.

It depends on whether it uses Tegra X1 or something better. If it uses Tegra X1 it will have 512 GFlops of power and will still be pretty expensive. As a portable it should have a 1080p screen at least and running modern games at 1080p on a console half as powerful as XB1 will be difficult with many effects turned off and no anti aliaing probably still wouldn't run them. And it would look bad if it doesn't have a 1080p screen which is standard for smartphones, some even have 2K and 4K screens.

And it definitely does not appeal to the same demographic as PS4 Pro. The hardware gap is be too big, PS4 Pro is going after a more premium market than PS4 and I would suppose Switch. But its a handheld so it could still appeal to people who want a PS4 and PS4 Pro but not in the same way.
