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

What's mind boggling is why does spiderman 2 cost so much. It's not a massive open world game and the while the graphics look nice they are using lot of the same Map as spiderman 1 not even the best ps5 has to offer 

California being an expensive place, higher salaries being paid, mo cap and actor salaries, Disney payment for the IP. Although 300mil still seems very excessive

The 128 million and 300 million are outside of the Disney payment for the IP for Spidey 1 + 2. Those numbers are just the game budget alone. 

Spider-Man 3 will probably cost $400+ million, then probably another $50-75 mill on marketing on top of that, *then* Disney also gets their cut on top of that, though that isn't dissimilar to what 3rd parties face because they have to also pay a 30% licensing fee in most cases on various platforms.
