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.

But the thing is I did not play Ocarina of Time on the N64, I did play it much later on the Wii, if I remember correctly.

Not to denigrate the N64, I could not really speak of it cause I did not own one at the time but from what I've heard, it was a very decent system capable of 3D gaming at a time 3D environments were still the new big thing in video games. So whatever you said against how good or how bad the N64 performed, seems to be irrelevant in the context of the Switch as, and I said that before, those systems had the excuse of being what they were at a time where technology was not what it is today.

However weak the N64 might have been (and I don't think it was for the time), it was doing rather well at a time where the issue was not how well 3D environements are made but can a machine do them at all? And the anwser was yes, the N64 could.

But this is 2017 and I don't know about you but my standards have somewhat risen and I am logically more demanding. Therefore trying to defend the 2017 Switch's flaws by criticizing the 2002 Gamecube or the 1997 N64 by holding those to more recent standards is literally irrelevant and what they call a cop-out.

Sorry but don't try to get the Switch off the hook by attacking the past or using the past to justify the present.
