Yes. But at a lower resolution.
Tegra has come a long way and nVidia's GPU technology is far more advanced than AMD's, especially in regards to efficiency.
Where AMD has some key notable advantages is actually on the CPU side of the equation.
In saying that... It would not come cheap, you will need a bigger battery to drive the TDP and other costs will blow out.
The real question is... Can it be done affordably? The answer to that is a no...
But Nintendo doesn't have to, cutting back on resolution will significantly reduce those demands.

I have provided evidence, you haven't.
So this discussion is entirely in my favor. You don't have a leg to stand on.
| Chrkeller said: The S2 likely isn't going to match my 3050 + 16 gb ram + 12 gen i5. |
No one is claiming anything to the contrary.
The device isn't even out yet, making any such comparisons useless anyway.
The fact is... Mobile handhelds with a less efficient Radeon GPU and 100GB/s of bandwidth are playing Playstation 5 games.
You do need to come to terms with that, because it's reality... And it's something to be excited about.
| LegitHyperbole said: There's a chance that the Switch 2 could be a Wii U situation. Perhaps not that bad but it's not out of the question. Could also ve a 3DS situation but lord knows it won't be an OG Switch situation. |
Anything is possible.
But Nintendo had the opportunity to present the Switch in more form factors and sell more hardware units but didn't.
...I still want my Switch TV... No dock, no display, no joycons, no battery... Just a simple and small device that can play Switch games.
So there are some extra opportunities available, should be interesting to see how it all plays out.
| sc94597 said: Sure, but the question was about getting "all" or even really most third party support. I interpret this to mean when we expect most games to come to Switch 2 and it would be unusual if they didn't, rather than have the default expectation that they aren't going to come and are mildly surprised when they do. That likely requires the Switch 2 to be enough people's primary system rather than a system almost every-one has, but has as a secondary system. |
It will never get *all* or even *most*.
Rockstar couldn't even port GTA5 despite it being a 7th gen game ported to 8th gen and 9th gen consoles... The Switch is capable of running it and has a massive audience to sell games to.
...But for whatever reason, they never made it happen.
There is more to porting than just games or the size of a userbase... Company politics plays a big role as well.
