Hardly silly there was a real reason why the ps3 skyrim was a struggle and that was the split memory of 256MB video and 256MB main for a large game engine plus the ps3 was notoriously difficult to develop for with a steep learning curve because of the cell architecture. We only have arm cpu's here and a fairly standard nvidia gpu architecture.
Fast RMX is just a very basic engine with decent graphics its not a real test for any console. Your not creating a complicated environment. You get visually pleasing racers on humble android hardware its just not something that should be considered when you are comparing performance of systems unless you have set your expectations to a very low level.
A quick look at the game compared to Wipeout shows RMX with more pop-in, more blurring and more often repeated detail and textures. The environment is less alive without other details like trains moving, vehicles in flight. Wipeout certainly doesn't look outclassed and at the very least is a similar performance level. This isn't my type of game though I have to say not something I would enjoy and chucking amazing visuals at the screen and not much else is not what I would call a test of a system. I used to play Wipeout in amazing 3D on my projector with the beating 7.1 soundtrack on my home cinema system but ultimately I didn't find the playability compelling enough and got bored of it quickly and Fast RMX looks even worse in that regard and on a small 6.2" screen is incredibly unappealling. More a tech demo than a well rounded gameplay experience. While I'm not arguing that Wipeout isn't shit as one commentator put it, to me RMX looks even more shit. However in fairness I don't know how many people want this title. Was 'Fast Racing Neo' a huge seller? Is this title important to the Switch library or just a title destined for insignificant sales anyway with few people bothering with it. I've never played Fast Racing Neo, no idea how it handles, what the combat is like, what sort of interesting characters you play against in the game etc. I like wheels and noisy engine sounds in my racing games.

Make sure you use the 1080p option on youtube.

Based on those two videos I would say Fast Racing RMX is easily a full generational leap lol. I can emulate Gamecube games on my Dolphin that would look better than Whipeout.

Full generational leap, its a bland and simplistic racer with a few graphic effects. You must have mistakenly been watching some ps4 youtube videos because you seriously can't think Fast Racing RMX is cutting edge. Which ever you think is better neither are impressive by ps4, xbone or PC standards. RMX graphics are simplistic and often repeated and lets not forget Switch games have to run with a slow 150 gflops gpu and quad core arm cpu's. It's no surprise that the game engine looks fairly basic and just a small upgrade on the wii u game. People see what they want to see I guess.
