I'll be happy if Switch 2 is to PS5/XS as Switch 1 is to PS4/Xbone in terms of graphics, personally. I don't need my games to look cutting edge, I'd just rather it be an appropriately substantial leap over its predecessor, which shouldn't be difficult given how old Tegra X1 will be by 2023/2024 when I'd prefer a Switch successor to launch.

Considering that Tegra X1 was already "old" when the Switch launched... And was further castrated in order to fit a low thermal envelope, I think it's definitely showcased what nVidia's very efficient architecture (Maxwell) was able to achieve... And thus has held up rather well.
Helps that Nintendo leans heavily on art direction.

In saying that, I am hoping the next chip is more cutting edge, I like things to be pushed, we get more hardware for our coin, better looking games, smoother experiences... It's a massive win for all consumers.

But I agree. The next device doesn't need to match the Xbox Series X and Playstation 5... That is simply not happening in a handheld at that time frame.

Agree that it ain't happening in a handheld, hence why I am hoping they taking the dock a bit more serious and provide a fast enough connection from the console to an external GPU and/or CPU. 

I am glad the switch is doing well which means they don't need to rush out successor so quickly. Hopefully by 2024 they will be able to run 1080p 30fps handheld mode with the dock adding extra power to get it to the PS5 level.

Hell we have seen some advancements with external solutions for laptops, so one can dream lol.
