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

Don't really care for excuses you make to defend your beloved company if the hardware was held back for no good reason which in reality wouldn't have made a difference, it's a shitty move by nintedno and really shows how crappy of a company they are.    

There is a good reason, you just don't like it, but if you were running their business I doubt you would do any differently. 

A Switch Pro that allowed games to run at 60 fps and potentially even some games at 4K (and there is a video that shows definitely the Switch can run 4K games) would be a serious problem for the Switch 2 because then you'd have a bunch of stubborn people saying "well, I already have 4K and 60 fps on my Switch Pro, why should I buy a Switch 2". 

After Wii U and 3DS, that's the last headache Nintendo needs, Switch is a massive success but by the same token now the real work begins because repeating it becomes harder (ask Iwata). 

I would do the exact same thing if I was in Furukawa's shoes.

But for people who want the extra performance, hey it's there for you really, it's not some giant mystery how to overclock a Switch these days. You can get 60 fps and even higher resolution in a bunch of games if you want it. 

You're seriously overstating the impact of this. The PS4 Pro has not stopped the PS5 from being a big success so why would it be so different here? Maybe it would cause a small negative impact but a serious problem? It'd not be anywhere near that bad.
