The flaw in his argument about the Switch is that it's stil state of the art for portable platform, TP was also on the Wii which had a far bigger gap between it and it's competitors.

If I may, the flaw in your argument is that you think the Switch is a portable system only when in fact it purports to be both portable and a home console. And to be clear my argument is about the "home console" side of the device.

Therefore my argument has no flaw since it is not about the Switch as a portable.

Sure there is, you mentioned Ocarina of Time and Twilight Princess - the N64 may have had a powerful chip, but that was irrelevant due to severe bottlenecking. In practice, it was considerably weaker than the PSX due to the low capacity cartridges and the incredibly small texture cache - causing muddy and low-detail graphics. The features of the Switch are more on par with current technological standards. The final result is that Switch games can look very close to PS4 games, but N64 games got nowhere near PSX games in terms of clean detail and visual appeal.

An additional flaw, the Wii also did not have the raw power of the other consoles, and yet you listed Twilight Princess. If you got Twilight Princess on GameCube, then you had it on an even less powerful console; and I don’t see how you would be able to tolerate playing GameCube in 2007, if relative power is so important to you.



I describe myself as a little dose of toxic masculinity.
