Everyone keeps talking about DLSS possibly putting the Switch 2 in the same ballpark with the PS5 and X Series in terms of being able to get ports from those consoles, but I keep thinking that where we will really see it being used is to alleviate situations like Point 2.
Like, if the Arkham collection were to come to Switch 2, instead of using DLSS to make it look nearly on par with PS5/XS versions of games and run north of 1080p and 60 fps, I could see publishers instead locking those games to 1080p so they could use even lower quality textures and assets on the card to save space and fit more games on it. Then they can say, "Look, no more code in a box! It's all here, just like you asked!!!"
And to be honest, I'd be cool with that. It will be a long time before I will own a TV that would allow me to see the difference that 4K output can produce, and 1080p still looks perfectly fine to me. Heck, 480p widescreen looks fine to me. I'd rather not need to constantly spend more money on storage just to be able to spend more money on games than to have prettier games that require me to figure out how I can afford them.

Oh for sure, I certainly wouldn't expect current gen console ports to be running at console settings. I think DLSS will probably allow Switch to basically be capable of running 4k/60fps console games at 1080p/30fps docked - which would be great, nothing to complain about there. So yeah for sure lower res textures used, less space used, and DLSS knocking the resolution/framerate up to respectable levels. But yeah good point about that being an added benefit of DLSS, textures being low res means less game card or SD card space used.

There are very few 4K/60 games even on PS5. PS5 can't run even a lot of PS4-tier graphics at 4K/60, like Control, which is technically a "PS4 era" game only can only manage 1440p when running at 60 fps.
Probably what you'll get is more likely
4K - 30 fps on a Playstation 5 game to 720p native (DLSS to 1440p or 4K) - 30 fps on Switch 2
For 60 fps games it may get a little more challenging. Perhaps
1440p-60 on PS5 and 540p-600p dynamic native (DLSS to 1080p) - 60 fps on Switch 2.
But you're probably going to have to live with some artifacting at this mode.
