Once again your shots aren't displaying on my screen for some reason, but a lot of the pics you seem to be selecting are either promotional shots that look much better than the real game, or stills from cutscenes which similarly look better than the actual gameplay.

You're correct that at this early stage Switch won't have been fully tapped out yet, but even so, we've already seen games with a higher caliber of effects work, shaders, etc than even the best looking PS3 games. If you prefer the more art style of Sony's efforts though, that's a valid opinion, I'm simply talking about technology.

Have you played GOW3, anyway all my shots are direct feed captures from gamers https://www.neogaf.com/threads/is-god-of-war-iii-not-the-best-looking-console-game.440510/page-10

Aside from doom, i have no idea what games your talking about. running at 1080p, then yea thats make them more technically demanding. 

Yeah I have played GOW3 actually. It looked absolutely amazing in 2010 but up against the better looking games on Switch it definitely shows its age in terms of shaders, textures, effects work, as is to be expected since the disparity in hardware makes it an unfair comparison to begin with.

The thing is, looks and power are not necessarily the same thing. For example, to me Okami on PS2 still looks better than most PS4 games; not because it's more graphically advanced, but simply cos I love its art style. If you love God of War's style and think it looks more visually pleasing than what Switch has on offer, that's fine. But as we seem to agree, Switch's technological superiority is a fact.
