Switch and switch 2 are pretty much doing it's own thing. They join the race near the middle of each gen. plus those games you mention are gonna be old news and no one is gonna be buying a switch 2 for them. I think pretty much most thirdparty games will be on switch 2 except a few very demanding ones, it's just if switch 2 really wants to establish itself more as a thirdparty machine it has to come out closer to current gen consoles to make a meaningful difference

I’m not saying that the third party games I mentioned will be a reason for consumers to buy a Switch 2, just that it’ll help with perception that it’s a strong hybrid console with modern technology. Kinda like how The Witcher 3 and Nier Automata showed how strong the original Switch is, even though people to this day still thought it was old, weak hardware from the jump (even though that wasn’t necessarily true.

I don’t really expect Switch 2 to be a third party machine, but I can see it maintain what the Switch has become: a machine for lots of indies and AA games to thrive in. The big third party devs want to push console gaming in regards to presentation and such with high end, realistic graphics and over the top action. The Switch 2 will do what it can to keep pace with the two other stronger consoles, but as long as Nintendo understands what the console’s identity is, then Nintendo will be fine.

No question about it Nintendo is going to be fine, just saying it doesn't really matter if nintendo is ps4/xbox 1 power or series s power is not gonna be a game changer in terms of nintendo doing well. it's probably the least important factor in terms of switch2. being successful.
