Errr you are assuming I don't know how to read for the second time, ok... I'm not assuming the speculation is about Switch. I'm talking about next iterations. The point is that doesn't matter how much tecnology progress having a display will cost more than not having a display, or will we get to a point where TVs will be donated by TV makers? Same consideration for battery. Sure there can be a time a lot of people will be satisfied by whatever console is released on a portable formfactory and wouldn't mind the additional performance they would get if it was a table, but the assumption that it will be the norm and will replace table consoles isn't necessarily right.

And again, same architeture, same tech, same all, small chip versus big chip...big chip will have more computational units and therefore will be more powerfull.

Yes in 7 years you'll have stronger than even PS4Pro portable HW. The thing is that you'll also have something even stronger and cheaper to produce for your table.

The problem with your argument is that having a certain component cost more stops being an issue when progression has made it that the cost of having it is a non issue a HDD or internal storage is an example of this it cost more to have it but now every platforms has it the same will happen to having a display so that's not really a concrete argument against progression. It can be the norm in the scenario he speculates because the is no real reason for it not to if the tech progress to the point in his speculation.

This is why I'm asking about your reading, the PS4P portable performance level would be the cheaper option the more expensive option would be between that and PS5 performance going by the rate of progression today.

PS4Port would be good for some. And even if the cost of a display is low it will exist and could be better used for other thing. I for one would preffer more power than handheld.
