Yeah while it is fair to say that PS4 Pro has more raw pixel pushing power than Switch 2, this doesn't tell the whole story, as they are two different machines with very different strengths and weaknesses.

For example, Switch 2 has significantly more RAM than PS4 Pro, and we see this at work in Cyberpunk where textures are higher resolution on Switch 2 than PS4 Pro, or indeed Series S. It also has much faster internal storage and dedicated decompression hardware, resulting in faster asset streaming, plus hardware support for stuff like DLSS, mesh shaders, and ray tracing which PS4 Pro does not have.

So while it is more or less true to say that Switch 2 is between PS4 and PS4 Pro in power, it's also more complicated than that and depending on the game in question Switch 2 can do better in some ways, such as better image treatment, higher res textures, etc.
