I know it's more powerful than those consoles but the experience it gives is similar--unless you can give me some examples. It darn sure isn't on par with the other current gen consoles.

The Xbox 360 and PS3 sure as hell cant run mariokart 8-deluxe at 1080p 60fps. 

Dark Souls Remastered will run 1080p 30fps with graphical improvements over the original, which was 720p

Fifa 18 for Switch is 1080p 60fps, with a sizeable graphical improvement over the last gen version, which also runs at 720p.

Yes, it obviously not as powerful PS4/XB1, but to say it is on merely on par with last gen consoles is plain wrong.

We all agree Switch is more powerful than 7th gen consoles, its still WAY BELOW the capabilities of X1. In practice I'd say its closer to 7th gen and that was his point as well.

We've seen it does a good job improving 7th gen games, we've been reminded Nintendo games are very well optimized, but it really struggles to run a game like Doom at a stable 30 fps, with much lower graphics settings, even at sub-HD.

Fifa indeed looks better on Switch. But this is an example of how it does a good job improving 7th gen games.

Meanwhile a more technically demanding game like LA Noire has dips, lowered graphics settings, and uses a dynamic resolution. Unless there have been some updates its arguably worse on Switch than PS3.

I'm sure Dark Souls on Switch will be a big improvement if its simply better optimized. Lets not pretend Dark Souls was a technical achievement for last gen.

 

So the Switch being compared to 7th gen is fair. And its also about 11-12 years apart...

He also compared 3DS to PS2/Gamecube/Xbox. But we know the 3DS has far less GPU capabilities and even at a much lower resolution. However, its closer to them than PS1/Saturn/N64.
