10 years is a long time.

Xbox one OG is 120 watts and only roughly twice as powerful as Switch.   Don't see how pointing today'd wattage for Xbox One X will have any relevance in a decade.

OG Xbox One is more than twice as powerfull..... its atleast 3.3 times in terms of compute. However look at stuff like Memory Bandwidth.
Switch = 25gb/s   vs  Xbox One = 68.3gb/s + 102 Gb/s (from Esram).
The Xbox also has a stronger CPU and a HDD.

A more heavy compute switch would be memory bandwidth starved, and adding better memory bandwidth would drive up such a Switch 2.0 power consumption.

Also lets keep it fair:

Xbox One X is the cloested xbox released to the Switch. So if you want to talk power effiency lets use that.
Its 6 Tflops and ~180watts.

Switch is 393 Gflops and ~18watts.

Xbox One X is ~15.3 times the power of the Switch, and uses ~10 times the power.

ergo the Xbox One X is more power effecient than the Switch is, dispite the switch going for low power low memory bandwidth ram, not haveing a HDD ect.

 

There is no way a future Switch, in the near future (even by 2027) is able to do what the Xbox One X does now.

Where did you get the 393 figure from?  Never heard it being so low.  You gotta keep in mind that in the Switch Nintendo was using 2 year old Nvidia Tegra technology because they didn't have anything newer ready at the time. Nintendo was rushed to get the system out. One would only hope that future revisions will be timed with new technology that Nvidia comes out with.
