For the new Xenoblade Chronicles 2 I think it being a direct sequel has more to do with the art style than anything else. XCX was said by the developers to be its own thing set apart from the first and now second game.

XC was not an anime cel shaded game. Not sure where you got that idea.

I don't believe for a second that XC2 being cel-shaded has anything to do with the hardware, and like Ck1x said, the original was plenty anime. If they wanted, they could have made all the models look like Shulk's from Smash 4 and it would look fine.

Nintendo makes everything that art-style. It's not a concession. It's what they do. GTAV, TLoU, and MGSV all run on (presumably) weaker hardware. If Nintendo wanted to make graphically impressive looking games on the Switch, they'd have no problems doing it. They just don't want to.
