Since technology improved and some people wanted to make out you can't have both because their company of choice started falling behind.

The reality.

There's plenty of insecurity to go around, Gribble. Maybe some Nintendo fans are embarrassed about graphics so they focus on gameplay. And maybe some PS gamers are embarrassed about gameplay so they focus on graphics.

It goes both ways.

Basically. My take on Switch is that even when I know that it's graphically poor compared with the competition, I gladly sacrifice raw power for portability. Both would probaby be prohibitive expensive, ideal, yep, but expensive. And I still think that gameplay discusions are way more interesting that this "numbers war". So I tend to agree with the OP, though not 100%.
