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).

So you can't use the reviewers giving good scores to Nintendo as a way to say Nintendo games have great graphics or that graphics doesn't matter (because for PC, PS and Xbox they are sure to take out score on graphics) it is more like that reviewers give a free pass to these games and change the scope of evaluation.

I think reviewers take a game's graphics for what they are instead of what they could've been, at I would like to think that. Just because the graphics aren't as clean or as enhanced or as realistic as other games in stronger hardware, doesn't mean the scores have to be significantly changed. It doesn't make a game like Mario 3D World an 8 compared to UC4 getting a 9 or something just because, technically, UC4 looks better. I mean, Sonic Mania has been praised from the heavens in 2017 and in a technical sense, its within the style of 16-bit Sonic/Sonic CD, games that were released in the 90s. Just because a game like Mario Odyssey, BotW, Splatoon, etc. aren't great looking games on a technical standpoint compared to say Uncharted 4, Last Guardian, The Witcher 3, Final Fantasy XV, etc., doesn't mean they aren't great to look at in general. I think Odyssey looks incredible, both in presentation and in gameplay, and I've played games like Uncharted, Overwatch, Gears of War, Street Fighter, and the what not. If you don't think so, then that's fine; you judge it the way you want to judge the game. If you think games like Odyssey or BotW should be docked significantly just because, technically and graphically, they aren't up to par to Titanfall, Uncharted, Overwatch, etc., then more power to you.
