Nintendo Switch 2 Tech Performance Discussion

With regard to the third party output once the PS6 launches, while I do think ports will become less common when the next gen arrives, by that point Nintendo should be putting out much more first-party titles to compensate. Currently the 3rd-party ports are doing the heavy lifting for the Switch 2 because Nintendo is taking forever to make games for the hardware. But that situation will reverse over time once the first-party games start arriving and making ports becomes more difficult.

With Indiana Jones, my big concern was shadow quality, because shadows really seemed to pop-in close to the player in the prerelease footage.  But while that issue is still there, I find it a lot less noticeable when playing on my 4k tv than it was in 1080p Youtube previews.  Maybe that footage was mostly taken from handheld mode.  It's a beautiful game overall.

I am not convinced the ps6 will change third party support.  It will be 2 years before the ps6 launches.  I think at a minimum the first 4 years games will be cross gen between the ps5 and ps6, given development costs and time.  That puts the S2 7 years (already a year old) before it can't handle ports.

*one of the other reasons I think path will be light on ps6, cross generational games will be a thing for years, the ps6 isn't going to launch with ps6 only games for a long time
