You are surprised that a game that was 720p on 360/PS3 can't run at 4K on Switch, which has lower specs than 360/PS3 in handheld mode and only slightly higher specs than 360/PS3 in console mode?

Also, LA Noire is only 4k on XB1 X and PS4 Pro, not on the base models, it's 1080p native on the base models. 

Hã? How specs in the same device can change? 

If you're mentioning performance, considering  the Skyrim on Switch, it looks like you're taking these statements out of your ass.

The Switch's GPU runs at a substantially slower speed when in handheld mode to save battery, so it effectively has 2 different spec sets that developers have to consider.

Outside of that his comment is a bit misleading (you can't linearly compare the Switch to the PS3/360 because its tech is more modern and it has some other notable advantages), but his general point is valid. The Switch isn't running Skyrim at 4k, so that's not particularly relevant to what he was replying too. As he notes, the PS4 and X1 themselves aren't running L.A. Noir at 4k either. It's the Pro and X1X hitting that mark, and they're both a lot more powerful than a Switch (like a looooooot, the X1X is almost 20 times stronger in some respects than a docked Switch). 4k isn't kind to hardware :p
