Will the Switch 2 finally be powerful enough and popular enough to get Nintendo all the top games?

I think Switch 2 will be getting vast majority of third party games. Of course DLSS will be doing a lot to save image quality, and 12 GB of RAM will be plenty to make sure games don't run out of memory.

I actually think 12 gb is a bit too low.  Steam Deck is 16 gb.  Rog Ally X is 24 gb.  People point out GPUs that are 8 to 12 gb, but computers also have additional system ram (usually 16-32 gb), and the vram is way higher in memory bandwidth (3050 is 2x what the switch 2 will be + system ram).  The series S is often highlighted as being 10 gb, but comparative to the Switch 2, it has literally 2x the memory bandwidth, in a broad/generic/illustrative way the Series S versus Switch 2 is 20 gb versus 12 gb.  

I'm rambling a bit, but 12 gb is meh.  I am hoping the rumors are wrong and it is 16 gb.
