The way technology advances, I'd say a couple of years. Portable consoles have more or less always been a gen or so behind. The PS4 has been around since 2013.

Switch: PS3/360 power levels

3DS: GameCube/PS2/Xbox 

DS: N64/PS1

GBA: SNES/Genesis

Gameboy/Gameboy Color: NES/Master System

It shouldn't be much longer, now.

This post is so wrong. Switch is more powerful than Wii U which was already a bit more powerful than PS3/360. Switch is not only a good deal more powerful but uses modern architecture even more modern than PS4. 3DS is inbetweenPS2 and Gamecube but more modern shaders.  GBA was more powerful than SNES and why there was a good amount of 3D games on the system. Game Gear was mower powerful than Game Boy and was essentially a portable SMS. Game Boy Color did not have the same power.  As for the OP. A few years. Xavier is a few years off being ready for a portable system for power consumption heat and battery life. By the time Switch 2 launches in maybe 2022-3
