The arguments keep getting worse in this thread, such as the comparison between a sequel developed from the ground up for next gen hardware vs. an enhanced port of a last gen game. But I don't think it's worth to continue talking from there, so it doesn't matter much anyway.
Back to the start of this thread, everything that is rumored to be shown was running on hardware specs that are allegedly the target of Switch 2 hardware, meaning that Switch 2 was actually not shown at Gamescom. Yes, Gamescom. Eurocom is a former development studio that resided in the UK. And that's basically where this whole thread shows its first cracks. The OP gets so excited that the basic facts become irrelevant and speculation about a rumor takes over immediately.
Target specs mean that a console manufacturer isn't obliged to have the final product perform at the same level and it isn't uncommon that compromises have to be made later on in order to get the product on the market at the targeted price point. Nevermind that there's no public footage of this, so hearsay distorts reality even more.
In addition to that, by the time Switch 2 launches at the earliest, it can be expected that Sony's PS5 Pro is out as well, so all the current excitement over Switch 2 will be revised to "graphics are good for portable hardware" even in the case that Switch 2's actual hardware matches the currently targeted specs and that any third party publisher bothers to release a game that counts as technical benchmark during the console's launch window.
Legend11 correctly predicted that GTA IV will outsell Super Smash Bros. Brawl. I was wrong.
