Switch 2 will simply get those AAA games later, just as Switch 1 got games like Witcher 3 and Doom 2016 later.

2022 is too early by your own metrics too, because if Switch 2 comes out then it'll be based on a 2020/2021 mobile SoC and won't be able to get PS5/XSX ports anyway.

If 2015 Switch-tech can get those games, 2020-2021 Switch 2-tech can also get AAA games.

No; Switch's chipset was 2 years ahead of PS4/Xbone and those systems had low end CPUs and mid range GPUs for their time.

The Switch successor you propose would be only 1 year or less newer than PS5/XSX which have higher end parts for their time.

As such, the gap would be much bigger and a Switch 2 using a 2020/2021 mobile SoC would be less able to run AAA PS5/XSX games than Switch is able to run AAA PS4/Xbone games.

If you want AAA PS5/XSX ports, you'll have to wait longer for mobile tech to catch up.
