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

Maybe they are saving those older games for Switch 2 where porting will be easier, whereas a LEGO game is not only easier to port over to the current Switch thanks to less demanding art direction and technicals, but it makes sense to port a brand new game now while there's hype and marketing behind it.

They have a bunch of ps3 games that would be easy to port on Switch and do well which has been a common thing for most developers to do on Switch, it also has 140 million user base vs switch 2 which is still unknown.

Uncharted 3

Ratchet and clank 

Sack boy 

Gow 3

Last of us 

They all would have did well enough on Switch.

They could do well by the beginning/middle in its lifetime, but just now that we are seeing Sony developing games for Switch. Some old games getting ported with the successor getting close, this has high chances to be forgotten and consequently a waste of time and resources.

And correct if I am wrong but isn't porting from ps3 kinda difficult because of its complex architecture?
