How far away are we from seeing games like Horizon: Zero Dawn and Spiderman 2018 on Switch/Switch 2?

Top 8 seems arbitrary for a requirement.  If I didn't know better I would say you are shifting goalposts, again.

Fact: many top selling games are in big budget

Fact: you have been proven wrong, yet again 

The budget debate is over anyway, we have leaked memos from Sony themselves saying they can't go over $350 million dollars or they get into a very dangerous spot and Insomniac internally stated themselves they spent 3x more on Spider-Man 2 and have doubts the consumer even cares about the difference. 

And that's *SONY* ... they have more money than any 3rd party developer, get licensing fee money, money from hardware and accessories, money from PSN subs, no 3rd party can even dream of having those extra revenue streams. Sony can afford budgets a normal 3rd party, even a high end 3rd party can't. 

$350 million is basically what they have internally said is a dead end zone. You want to argue that, you argue with them and go tell Insomniac you're an expert and companies are just being greedy. 

The leak is also the best insight you will get into how these companies operate and what they are really thinking, not bullshit PR. You wanna debate that shit that never ending budget increases don't matter and we're just going to continually keep doubling/tripling budgets every gen, you're not going to win that debate so I'll save you the trouble of even trying to start. 

A billion dollar company, who has record breaking revenue, wants even more money?!!??

Yeah, no shit genius.  Very few billion dollar companies ever say "good numbers, let us stay flat next year!!"

The only sad part is people like you who fall for these silly corporate sob stories.
