“As” powerful? When the new Nintendo console likely won’t release for another 2 years or so? LOL. Sadly this is probably correct, or it may even release with less power than the deck. Nintendo gonna Nintendo.

Does Nintendo's next iteration have to be equally as powerful as the Steam Deck?

Switch Pro / 2 is also a console which means it will have better performance in games vs SD even if SD has better stats on paper because it uses a very light API.
The only reason TW3, DOOM, DOOM Eternal, WOLF 2 etc run at all on Switch is because of the console API and months of optimisation around it's 4 core 1GHZ ARM CPU, 3GB of slow ass RAM and a 180GFLOP GPU...

If it came out today, the answer is a clear "No". It wouldn't be a PC, so it can get better results with weaker hardware.
If it comes out in 2024? Yeah, it should probably be right around where the Steam Deck is now - whatever the ARM/Nvidia equivalent of that would be. And it would produce clearly better results than the Deck if so.
Also I think it should stick with 720p for handheld mode, as long as it can go well over 1080p - even up to 4k for some games - in docked mode. Here I really think they do need a DLSS solution in handheld form to stretch the upscale.
