Hahaha, important or not, you're funny with your answer. Even base Xbox 1/ps4 only have 30fps with some drops to mid 20s in some areas. Now Switch which is at least 5 times weaker than base Xbox 1/ps4 can do the same? Nice logic here. Hope you didn't forget FFXV Pocket Edition case. Inb4 The Witcher 3 Pocket Edition...

Emm... do you realize that PS4 version is 1080p and XOne is 900p... and that both have medium/high PC settings right? An hypthetical Switch version would not only cut resolution to 720p, but it would also have downgraded visuals that would go even lower than the low PC settings. And just before you say that if the go below low PC settings it will look like shit, DOOM also uses visuals below low PC settings and it still looks fine.

With those changes, I don't see why it couldn't run a 30fps with some heavy drops on busy moments.

You are making it sound much easier then it really is. wolfenstein 2  and doom both targeting 1080p/60fps on base ps4, both run mostly below sub HD resolution/lowest settings, and had the frame rate cut in half on Switch. Id tech 6 engine is also known for its great scalability. It really is a gigantic task. I would love to see it, but people are doubting it for good reason. Switch also has 50% weaker CPU the current gen, and open world games rely heavily on that as well.
