As Rol already covered, this is not Kotick saying "Switch 2 is on par with PS4/XBO" but rather "assuming it's closer to PS4/XBO [then the current Switch] then we can work with it."

Switch being close to PS4 in raw power wouldn't be a shocker given how far mobile tech has advanced since the Tegra X1 came out, but one should also remember that there has been a decade of technical advances since 2013, so just as the Switch has more modern graphical features than PS3/360/Wii U, the successor should have similar advantages over the PS4 and punch above its weight.

But for now, this is confirmation of nothing.

I always read about these modern features but they hardly translate into anything. Ps5 games doesnt even look 2x better than the best ps4 games and it has modern features with 5 more powerful tech. Switch suppose to be 2x-2.5x wiiu and games never looked that much better we are getting to the point that you need such a huge power difference to see the difference. Doesnt matter though ps4 games look great if you like 30fps

Depending on the individual, diminishing returns will factor into how big the difference "looks". On a technical level, Switch is more capable though, and this shows through in its games.

The main reason its important is because it makes porting easier; Switch using relatively modern hardware was a big reason it got so many PS4/Xbox One ports, as opposed to something like the Wii where the technology was so old it wasn't compatible with a lot of the technology used on PS3/360 even if you overcame the raw power gap.
