It doesn't matter, that just one example how they have different priorities.

You can doubt, but fact is that Switch has 8x more RAM memory than PS3, much more capable, newer and much more efficient GPU, and similar is for CPU also, at end Switch is around 3x stronger. I mean thats why we have some 1080p games on Switch they were 720p on PS3. Its not point only about resolution, 1080p games on PS4 have more details, better textures, better lightning, shadows, other effects...and better and more stable FPS compared to PS3 games. PS4 has 16x more RAM memory than PS3, it has around 8x stronger GPU just buy numbers (with difference in tech/architecture real time difference is easily bigger than 10x), similar goes for CPU, PS4 CPU is much more capable, newer and much more efficient for modern games than Cell in PS3, so at end, difrence is closer to 10x.

I dont think that people thinking that Nintendo art style is so much better than else than anyone else, but Nintendo games usualy have great art style. That's like your opinion that RC look better, thats very subjective, while its fact that Nintendo games play better beacuse 60 fps. I disagree that Nintendo games certainly aren't evaluated as other, just look Zelda BotW and Mario Odyssey, that's huge leap in evolution, point that on technical side are not like other current games, dont change nothing (I mean just look reviews for both games).

I didn't said that MK is Nintendo, my point is that even back than we had some more realistic games while Nintendo were making more cartonie games same like today. Again, nobody said that evry Nintendo game is cartoonish, but most of them are.

Having 8x more memory (which doesn't even translate to 8x more gaming ram) isn't the same as making the HW 3x better. The GPU can be better, but hardly 3x, as I said, we still don't have any evidence that it's 3x better. And no the CPU in PS4 is considered weaker than on PS3 not better. Go look at the release of PS4 how many people were disapointed that the jump was closer to 6x than 10x. And as much as we thinker the numbers the gap between Switch and PS4 wouldn't change... if Switch is 2x better than PS3 with PS4 being 6x better or Switch is 3x better and PS4 10x, the gap between then is still 3x.

So you want to say that they are behind in technical terms but are evaluated on the same ground? Are you serious?

Most of the games at the time were cartoorney... that is the point, there were very few Nintendo or 3rd party games that were realistic. When power started to be enough to really do photo realism that was when Nintendo stuck with cartoon and others moved on.

 

8x more memory is just one point (for games is actualy 6x more RAM), fact is taht GPU is much stronger even if you look just through numbers (but comparing buy numbers tech/architecture with hole decade difference doesn't make any sense) and add to that difference in tech/architecture (PS3 GPU  tech/architecture is from 2004/2005. while Switch GPU  tech/architecture is from 2015.), and at end with all points difrence is around 3x. Thats not true, PS3 CPU is better than PS4 in just some operations, but offcourse that PS4 is much more capable, newer and much more efficient GPU for modern games than PS3 CPU from 10 years ago. I dont need to go back, we have specs in front of us. Switch is around 3x stronger than Switch and PS4 is around 3x stronger than Switch, with difference that PS4 and Switch both have new tech/architecture and support for all modern engines and APIs compared to PS3.

Of Course, just look previous 3D Zelda and previous 3D Mario, but they cant have exactly technical side when they have weaker hardware.

Thats wha I said, Nintendo sticked to cartoons graphics even when they had stronger hardware (GC for instance).
