How do the visuals on the Nintendo Switch compare to those of the Xbox 360 & PS3?

It's still a gross oversimplification to say that a cartoony game will automatically be less demanding than one that attempts realism. The games would need to be examined on an individual basis. For instance, a cartoony game that pushes the Switch will be more graphically demanding than a realistic one that pushes PS3/360, simply because the Switch is considerably stronger hardware.

Nobody is saying that. people are saying thats it's much easier to get impressive results with cartoony graphics because they are not demanding as realistic, as well as hardly any developer is  pushing the envelope with cartoony graphics, ratchet and clank remake is a small budget title, and look at how good it looks.

Again though, this is a reductive oversimplification, primarily used to downplay Nintendo games and hardware. A cartoon game built to take good advantage of 3GB of RAM and Tegra X1 will be more demanding than a realistic game running on less than 500MB of RAM and a GPU from 2005/2006.
