People are missing the point, there's no doubt the Nintendo Switch is a lot more powerful than the PS3 or 360, it's obviously capable of presenting better looking games at higher framerates & resolution so anyone arguing against that is objectively wrong.

The question is does anything on Switch look better than the best looking games last gen like God of War 3, The Last of Us, Uncharted 3 on PS3 or Gears of War 3, Forza 4 or Halo 4 on 360? I don't think so yet, people can keep comparing linear vs open world, 30fps vs 60fps or 720p vs 1080p but that's irrelevant, we're talking about visuals not performance.

I think the real comparison here is how long did it take the PS4 software line up to start looking entirely better than PS3's last efforts? The Switch is nowhere near the factors of power over PS3 as the PS4, so it should be a given that it could take the Switch into its second or third software year to really eclipse PS3's best efforts. What people are really losing sight of hear is that this system is more powerful than 7th gen consoles while only running at 6-15 Watts of power in handheld/dock mode respectively.
