Is it feasible for the Switch 2 to have performance near Xbox Series S level at 400$?

Do you really think Switch 2 GPU could compare to RTX 3050? You mean the laptop version, right?

I don't see why it wouldn't compare. Both are Ampere.
Also depends on the 3050.

nVidia did release 6x variants of the 3050, one of the desktop parts are ironically slower than one of the mobile.

But the mobile RTX 3050 can beat the Radeon 6500XT.

Docked a 3050 seems reasonable. It matches Higgin's ranking in my experience.  My 3050 ran games significantly worse than the ps5, but somewhere between a ps4 and ps4 pro.  

The other thing that fits Higgins' position is Halo Infinite indoors versus outdoors.  In doors the game, on my 3050, ran + looked good.  Outdoors left a lot to be desires, it struggled with fps and quality texturing.

The texturing and frame rates is more to do with the limited vram buffer rather than the GPU itself, nVidia is stingy when it comes to memory... And they have been holding back low-end and mid-range GPU's for years on that aspect.

Which makes sense.  The 3050 did well enough on smaller scope games, like RE4, but with open world it fell apart quite quickly.
