Switch and even the WiiU were more powerful than the previous generation's PS3 and the 360. Therefore the Switch 2 should be more powerful than the base PS4 and XBox1, otherwise it's a failure in terms of power.

I dont feel like thats a fair way to judge them.

Its a handheld, that can dock.
vs a traditional conesole in a box, that can use much more power, and is much bigger and thus easier to cool said hardware.

If its barely PS4 level, or slightly below.... thats still a huge win imo.
You have to remember nintendo is going to want to keep it sub 15watts on the go, and 35-40 watts when docked or so.

PS4slim (CUH-2000) used like ~90-110 watts when gameing.
Theres a long way from that, down to 35-40watts when a switch is docked.

The fact that they can now make it so small, and use like a 1/3rd of the power, to do the same ish level of performance,
is just the progress thats happend between the two releases (8+ years down the road).
