The pre-rendered cutscenes maybe, in game it still doesn't look like anything special. It's going to be on Switch 2, the current ROG Ally can run considerably better looking games than that, arguably even Steam Deck. If that's what passes for a "generational leap" these days it's pretty sad.

At least though MH Wilds will sell, average graphics and all, unlike things like Senua's Saga which is bombing and that Avatar game that underperformed, and Alan Wake 2 that's still struggling to break even and all these Final Fantasy games that have underperformed. Looks like the "I read Digital Foundry" crowd is pretty much the definition of a niche of a niche of a niche, these "graphics enthusiasts" don't move the needle in the modern market at all. 

The trailer had the ps5 version not even holding 30fps lol you just have no idea how things work.

PS4 version of Witcher 3 has frame drops so does DOOM Eternal so does Fortnite so does Cities Skylines ... didn't stop any of those games from coming to the Switch 1, which is a harder gap to cross IMO. 

You realize this is a business right before it is anything else? Not like a hobby-ist club for frame rate enthusiasts? Those nerds are like 0.0000001% of the market. The Monster Hunter audience on the Switch is 8+ million buyers. Do the math here.
