I mean, there's a big power gap between Switch and PS4/XBO, yet Switch still ran games like Hellblade 1, Witcher 3, Dying Light, Doom 2016/Eternal, Wolfenstein II and Youngblood, Hogwarts legacy, etc.

True and I should have been more clear.  Many think the gap will be smaller with the switch 2.  I think it will be about the same, with switch 2 ports being clearly inferior and with lots of sacrifices.  

But I don't want to derail the thread too much.  The larger point is cross generation titles have given the false impression current hardware was a small jump.  I think hellblade demonstrates the jump is quite significant.

Yeah the jump from PS4/XBO to PS5/XBS seems quite underwhelming thus far and I wonder how much of that is due to games and engines still targeting 2013 hardware.

Hellblade II looks significantly better than most PS5/XBS games, presumably because as a UE5 current gen exclusive it's untethered to legacy technology.

Honestly, I feel like the jumps between gens have been getting smaller for a while now simply due to diminishing returns; something Switch 2 could benefit from.
