What it does in practice matters more than the specs on paper. Generally speaking, Switch games look like more polished 7th gen games. Running a game like LA Noire in 1080p is actually pretty impressive compared to a lot of Switch content.

Few X1 games are running 720p/30, that's an exception and far from common. Switch is doing 1080p on a fairly regular basis, but its mostly with 7th gen era graphics. Meanwhile Doom on Switch is a huge step back compared to X1.

Either way, you guys don't need to get defensive. A game like LA Noire hitting 1080p on Switch isn't that common, its going to be a notable looking game on that hardware.

Well Switch can run 7th gen games at 1080p with better more stable frame rate, or 8th gen games at lower resolution or at 30fps instead of 60fps.

Actually only few Switch games are also running 720p/30fps, I think that Doom will be first 720p/30fps Switch game.

I am not getting defensive, just bringing some obvious points.

Again, I'm judging Switch by what it does in practice. Based on LA Noire and other titles, it seems like any 720p/30 fps game on PS360 can achieve 1080p/30 fps on Switch. Maybe even have overhead to spare for polish.

This sentence is wrong, "or 8th gen games at lower resolution or at 30fps instead of 60fps." Because Doom on Switch doesn't just lower the resolution and frame rate, but its taking a big hit in overall effects and asset quality along with resolution and performance.

Hence, Doom on Switch PROBABLY wasn't a huge endeavor because the engine is already very scaleable and designed for modest CPUs. But that could probably be said for any game running 60 fps on 8th gen consoles.
