If they believe there is good sales potential they may as well hire a port company to recode and remove all "excess" from the game. How competent in portraying the game that would be? I have no idea as it would need to look closely to the assets. But as said before Switch can handle open world games (they could even do a RDR1 port first to see the acceptance of the game).

They could, but I dont see they doing that, I mean we still dont know if this game will come to PC. RDR1 port would be better fit, but what I read code of that game is a mess so it would be very hard for porting, and thats why RDR1 isnt ported even on PC.

Well, at least it isn't like Switch needs RDR2, so far the console have been getting good games and even if no big games released for quite some time in the beginning of the year the backlog was good enough already.
