I know, in fact my suggestion was that a Switch VR (potentially) would be a new SKU, not portable but more powerfull. Since the baseline Switch is much weaker compared to a PS4, on Switch you wouldn't need that much horse power in order to achieve higher resolution and better framerates. In other words you wouldn't need a 4 Tflops to run BOTW at twice the resolution and twice the framerate, probably even half of that can do the job.

Well isn't BOTW 30fps? So for same graphical fidelity on VR and 60fps you would need 3x more power probably. But yes 2Tf would be doable if they dropped the graphics a little to achieve 60fps.

Consider that the Switch is currently about 0.4 TFlops while docked. So a 2TF device would be about 5 time in GPU power. If ever the bottleneck for higher framerates would be more related to CPU / ram.
