How Will be Switch 2 Performance Wise?

I think it depends on what you are describing as "PS4-tier." If PS4 Pro is also "PS4-tier" then Switch 2 is indeed roughly "PS4-tier" in terms of raw performance and above "PS4-tier" in terms of supported feature-set. 

If "PS4-tier" means actually roughly PS4 performance, then this is only mostly true in handheld mode, which is only about 55% as performant as Switch 2 in docked mode, which isn't too far from the difference between Switch 2 and Series S. 

Switch 2 handheld is roughly about a base PS4 with a modern feature-set. 

Switch 2 docked is roughly about a PS4 Pro with a modern feature-set. 

For running 9th Generation titles, those modern feature-sets matter. 

Modern features matter, for me tiers is a rough estimate.  And roughly I put it in the ps4 tier.  1080p/60fps with a lots of 30 fps, which for me is ps4.  And a lot of it is visual opinion.  DK looks like Ratchet reboot on the ps4, it doesn't look like Rift Apart.  S2 games look like ps4 games to me.  I don't see a big jump.  I want to emphasize this is fine.  Ps4 games are still excellent in fidelity.

Edit

For me, there hasn't been a OMG this clearly higher fidelity than ps4.  I just haven't had that moment.  Based on MKW, DK and BotW.  

I think the capacity is there and maybe we'll see it in the next Zelda, Pikmin, Luigi's Mansion or Xenoblade.
