To me it seems like we are talking past each other to a certain extend in this thread and it's a bit confusing. So I'll ask the more knowledgeable people in this thread the question that is the most interesting to me: If we assume the visual results the Switch 2 can produce will be similar to a PS4 or PS4 Pro (thanks to bells and whistles like DLSS and more modern architecture - I'm not talking about raw power but the visual end result, if you will). Would Switch 2 in that case be able to handle a significant proportion of new third party games released on Xbox Series and PS5 with acceptable visual sacrifices? And would it be able to handle a bigger proportion of third party games than Switch 1 during its run? 

My (amateurish) guess to these questions would be "yes": Xbox Series S exists and as long as a game runs, say, at 1440p on Series S, it should run at 1080p (upscaled via DLSS from a lower resolution and at moderately lower settings) on Switch 2. Personally that would be fine for me, I'm not an expert, though. I don't expect a port of Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, but if most games can run well on Switch 2, that would be fine in my opinion. Wouldn't the gap between Series S and Switch 2 be a lot closer than the gap between PS4 and Switch 1 in that case?
