If Metroid Prime 4 is indeed Switch 2's title launch game, I imagine Nintendo is putting all its effort to make it blow people's mind away. I expect it sells more than any Metroid game yet and be successfull. Not as the same level of a Mario or Zelda game but still a success. Let's not forget 2017 saw a bunch of heavy-hitter game realeases, so it's not like the Switch 2 would rely only on Metroid Prime 4 to be a success console

Yes, exactly this. Imagine how much they can knock people’s socks off with an MP4 taking full advantage of the massive hardware power jump, not restrained by the Switch. If they make it a Switch game at its core, that’s just not gonna do anything to excite non-Metroid fans in 2024 or 2025. It’s a huge mistake imo, they would guarantee Dread sales are pretty much the cap. Whereas going full throttle on a Switch 2 killer app allows it to at least have that Metroid breakout 10m or so potential I mentioned. The risk is so worth it.
