Nintendo should teach their 3rd party supporters their file compression secrets.

I did and I stand by it. Specifically I was saying that texture quality is a a generation beyond what you see in modern Nintendo games. Because it will take until next generation until you see Nintendo matching what Crash looks like on PS4.

Ah, okay that's quite different to what he seemed to be implying. I mostly agree then, though with the caveat that if Nintendo made a title with exactly the same design and technical focus as Crash i would expect that gap to shrink considerably. Crash is after all fairly tame as far as PS4 tech goes, and a docked Switch is closer to the PS4 than a generation jump.

Oh yeah, if Nintendo tried to make games like that then it wouldn't be such a large gap. They just don't aim to push their hardware like that. But if we're talking file size their intentions don't really matter.
