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.

I think diminishing returns is an interesting topic, because I don't think it is diminishing as much as consoles require additional hardware for full benefit.

Going from the ps1 to ps2 it didn't matter what TV and speakers people were using.  The difference was just that noticeable.

I think going from previous gen to current gen is very much TV and speakers dependant.  If someone is using a 60 hz 30 inch TCL LCD with tv speakers...  yeah the jump is small.  However is someone has a 65 inch 120 hz OLED with dolby atmos speakers.....  jump is much bigger.  Just my opinion.

Switch 2 will be day 1, Nintendo is my favorite.  But I think it will struggle with AAA current gen games.  File size and memory speed can be crippling.  Heck my rtx 4070 isn't great with something like Cyber or wake 2.
