It will be interesting to see how it shakes out because the thing about the Switch is if you double the GPU/CPU spec lets say and double the memory bandwidth ... the system basically jumps ahead a generation. That's really not the case for a New 3DS or even a PS4 Pro.
The Switch is kind of in an interesting spot where it's most comfortable being a Wii U+ tier machine but because the feature set of the chip is relatively modern it can stretch itself to handle ports of even PS4/XB1 games like Witcher 3 and DOOM Eternal, it's just a fairly big pain in the ass to do it.
But you even double that headroom and add in DLSS ... all of the sudden the entire PS4/XB1 library I have to think becomes reasonably doable to bring over, so that is going to be interesting to see how it pans out.
It's like going on a long road trip in a car that is meant to seat 4-5 with 7 people ... sure you can do it, but you probably don't want to. But a Switch Pro with better specs and DLSS? Suddenly it's more like making that trip with only 4 people, that's entirely reasonable even for a long trip.
