I think you all are also putting too much emphasis on battery life. We know the tech for batteries has stagnated but that hasn't stopped the drive for portable devices. The Switch battery life is like 3hrs....maybe. I have never had a laptop that could actually stay on for more than 45mins not plugged.

We are always near a power outlet in this day and age. My phone is virtually always plugged in.

Switch is 3 hours for AAA games, now for a portable that can play PS4 game like Horizon Zero Dawn, how long it will get? 1 hour? Yeah, sound good for anyone who purchase it. How big it is for a system like that? None chip that is much stronger than Tegra X1 while being very small has existed yet, what is the price for a handheld that can play Horizon? What Sony game that are suitable for portable and make big impact for children/casual gamers like Pokemon/Animal Crossing?

The Tegra X2 is massively more powerful, and massively more efficient than the Switch's SoC.
The Tegra X2 is getting pretty old now.
If Sony asked, they could get Nvidia to shrink the TX2 down to 12nm, or just wait until Nividia is willing to sell their next generation of gaming GPUs.

The Tegra X2 has been inside mass market devices (cars) since 2016.
