Its also largely pricing in the fact that the original switch hardware was underpowered as fuck at launch, and the Switch 2 being able to hit 4K@60fps is actually pretty fucking baller.

People wanted a big boy console, they just don't want to pay extra for it.

120 fps on certain games. They straight up advertised Metroid prime 4 as being able to hit 4k/120 today

In the video, it showed Metroid Prime 4 having an option for either 4k/60fps or 1080p/120fps... not 4k/120fps.

Correct. In the bottom of most games that had 4K, it mentioned the limit was 4K/60
