No portable console last gen had even close to NS power

When the PSP launched, the most powerful home console were the Xbox and GameCube.

When the Vita launched, the most powerful home console were the PS3 and Xbox 360.

When the Switch launched, the most powerful home console was the PS4 Pro.

 

The power difference between Vita and PS3/Xbox 360 is probably smaller than the power difference between Switch and PS4 Pro.

The Vita had 150% RAM of the PS3/Xbox360, The Switch has ~45% RAM of the PS4 Pro.

Diminishing returns. The customers don't care about technical differences, they care about the result. And the result is, Switch can offer experiences like Zelda, Doom or Skyrim. Vita and PSP had not so much comparable experiences.

If the Sony and MS are able to offer future experiences, that set their consoles apart from the mobile Switch, this may change the public view on that. But don't think some lighting or effects will do the trick, most people don't notice.
