Yes it can.

Just look at how games in 4K still struggle with Ultra settings on PC, and yet also run at least on an XBO. Next gen won't be quite as powerful as a high-end PCs of today (I expect something with similar performance to a Vega 56 + Ryzen 5 2600 combo, more than that will probably heat up too much even in 7nm) and still the current gen will continue to get fed the same games as the next gen for a couple years at the very least, and by extension so can the Switch - especially if it gets an upgrade down the road which would bring it close to XBO performance.

Vega 56, is better than a stock Geforce 1070, at 4k.
if your okay with just stable 30+ fps, theres alot of current games you can run at 4k with Very-high / Ultra settings with that on a pc.

With a console, where overhead is lowered and things can be better optimised...
something like that would be better than most people's gameing PC (except for those very high end builds).

^ this is with early drivers for the Vega (launch review, vs kinda matured nvidia drivers)
Real world performance today is probably much better for the vega.

I doubt next gen will be as "weak" as the 56.  At least not the PS5.  PS5 is using Navi, which should have some gains in performance over Vega.  And if the rumors are true, it was designed to be cheap competitor to the 1080/1080Ti, which is where I think the PS5 will lie.  I'm also expecting something more along the lines of a Ryzen 7.

@ OP

Good job at lowballing the numbers.  More like 350M+.
