I can't really comment on the earlier consoles, but those are some pretty biased comparisons.
The GameCube is more powerful than the PS2, but then the Xbox was more powerful than the GameCube. Then you have the Wii. But then WiiU being more powerful than a console coming out 6 years prior? What kind of argument is that?
The argument for the Switch doesn't prove anything when there's very little investment in the handheld console market when the Switch came out. And also, who cares if the Switch's successor can beat a decade old console? I swear, my phone probably can run a PS4 game based purely on its processing power.
Not only that but the processor it had was like a 2 year old design when switch was released
